This painting on the bottom started out to be a demo on painting old wood, such as a barn side or old cabin. It was also a bit of a demo on flower stems. But I felt like I messed up on the flower and didn't leave enough white, didn't make it fresh and loose enough. The picture of the flower on the top is much better. I miskited off some whites, including the yellow center. Then I painted cerulean in the darks of the flower. After that I put a yellow band across the center, pulling light warm reds from the top and darker, cooler reds on the bottom. The stems were then brushed with quin gold, some more cerulean, and some dabs of red. I like the one on the left better.Also, I added the man in the window after I decided this picture was a lost cause anyway. I felt that it added some purpose to the painting. In my mind he is painting the same thing I am, only from the inside of the house.

Hey Mom, I just went through your whole blog with Ann and she was very impressed. She said, "Wow, wow, wow." I'm lucky to have such a talented mom. I love that you've put so much on your blog now. I'm going to keep referring people to it. Love you! Jody

I love that you've put so many pictures up. Keep them coming. Try to put the one that's hanging in the kitchen up (the park with the light coming through the trees).
You're so talented. Love you! Jody
