This painting was done in several sittings. I usually paint 3 hours and then take a break or start back the next day. You have to let the paint set and your eyes relax.I think I e-mailed you but since I can't remember thought I would answer your question. How do I know you? Did I ask that too? Sorry if I did. Life has been very full. michele
My desire is to enjoy God's creation while I paint. When painting fruit or flowers I notice how quickly things start to wither and fade. It is a clear reminder of the frailty of life. How a flower in a vase might change it's positon by turning or even dropping a petal. "Praise God", He never changes! His promises are true and sure. This perspective gives me an even greater admiration for my Creator and His beautiful creation.
I prefer to paint from "Still Life." It encourages me to finish a painting more quickly. I also take pictures to see how I am progressing or where I need to make improvements or corrections.
In my yard, I have many varieties of flowering trees and shrubs to choose from as subjects to paint. There is usually something blooming year round! I hope to capture "some" of what I see in my paintings and share with others.

Thank you Karen, this painting has been real fun to do. Still some finishing touches but I like to post them in progress for fun. ")
How long does it take you to paint a painting? I enjoy painting and drawing. I still have a lot to work on though.
Carinna,
