Still life- last week of May

A loosely painted still life of irises and roses. This was done in 3 sessions- about 6 hours total. The actual arrangement didn't quite fit what I wanted in the composition- so I added another rose and some other greenery.

The top left of the composition felt good, made sense - but the bottom right didn't add anything & was confusing to the whole painting. This is when I redid that part just based on composition- and then rearrNged the flowers somewhat to help me bring it together.

I painted over a previously painted panel that I had sanded down.

New still life.

In my studio this month. Inspired by the fleeting season of daffodils.

My first thoughts on composition got moved around.

This set up. Took an early pic of the flowers for reference. Didn't take the time to block out all of the background.

Bunny is done. This was a great exercise- happy with it and ready to move on.

Progress

I was able to work about 5 hours on this today. I changed the lighting- blocked off some of the overhead light & focused a floor lamp on the still life. I redid the pitcher- I had the handle to far extended off the side. It is a weird set up. Now that it's mostly painted- I realize it's very strange. Oh well - it's an exercise. The first one is the new lighting.

Then 2 process shots. I'll see what I think next time I come in and see it.

A still life in process.

Starting this new piece- 16 x 20-

I love the rabbit- a porcelain vase- and wandered around Winco this morning to find something that would be interesting with it. Also wanted to make it a limited palette. Those are my interests, directing this painting.
