mr. BIG-Last Tuesday's post

I deleted the post from tuesday that had a very blurry picture of the dog and I have replaced it with a better shot today. The camera was not acting up...I had some bad settings.

FINISHED LILLY

With advice I finished this lilly with a different background. It seems to look lots better. Will be painting big over the weekend and hope to have two finished pieces by sunday.
thanks

THURSDAY-changes

Ok giant lilly is a new painting, per my mentor,to be posted tomorrow.....tooo much green so it has been changed. I have noticed how difficult it is to paint for myself and to paint for an audience or for a buyer. I can be perfectly satisfied with a piece and change my mind the next day.ok that said, I can also be happy with a piece and KNOW it will not sell..the internal piece changes and also says sell or no I like this work and I'll eat it. More often than not I will notice something weeks, months, days, afterward that is unsettling about work and I will change it....not like some painters who are able to paint fast and love what they have done..finis. So I kinda think, at this point that I should monitor my work as a new viewer. the Giant lilly has changed considerably based on feedback from my best friend and I will post it again sometime over the weekend. It is done, again and to a better degree of doneness..Thank you KAREN KINSER

small vase, big flower(click for price)

Thursday, and I have added another in the small vase big flower series.( 9x12 oil on linen board.) Yes, the same little vase. This peony opened up too much for me as I wanted it to be "just" opened to paint but alas.....nature.... tomorrow i will add "madison" a little yorkie i met at an art show last weekend..the paint was too wet to get a good photo without the shine...until tomorrow
thanks for looking
