I think this one is finished but I have a couple of days to look at it for any adjustments.  It is a 12x12 inch watercolor.  Thanks to Alan & Elaine Wilson for the reference photo.  Thanks for looking and C&Cs welcome.

I have finally finished this painting.  It is 10x10 inches and the eyes were my favorite part to paint. Thanks to Drew Avery @ Flickr for the reference photo.

 

10x10 inch watercolor

 

 

I think I am finished with this tiger.  I will step away and give it a couple of days to make sure I don't need to do any adjustments.  Thanks to Gary Jones Wildlife Photography for permission to use the reference photo.  Thank you for looking.  Your comments and/or suggestions are always appreciated.

New Painting

I am working on a new piece.  It is 10x10 inches.  I originally drew this for Sharon's Art March Challenge on FB using a photo that she had permission to use from Gary Jones Wildlife Photography.  I cropped it to work in a square format and drew it but that is where I stopped so now I am trying to complete it.  I am hoping to make good progress this weekend! 

 

Daylily

Watercolor

 

After a few days and some minor touch ups I am declaring the daylily finished!

Daylily Painting Continued............

I may go back and make some adjustments to the vase but for now I am leaving it and will work on the flower. 

Finished!

Finished!  This is a 10x10 inch varnished watercolor titled "My Cup Overflows".  I have created a WIP album on my facebook art page with 15 wip photos for anyone that might be interested.  I also added a few tips along with the photos.  www.facebook.com/gardenofweeden

The sunflower is finished.  It is rather dark and rainy here today so it is very difficult to get a wonderful photo but this is pretty close to the colors.  C&C and comments welcome.

I will look at this one for a few days and make sure that I don't want to do any minor touch ups before varnishing but basically "Geraniums & Lace" is finished.  I am pleased with the reds and I didn't find them so difficult to work with as I usually do.  Thanks for looking. C&Cs welcome!

Cherries & Lace

My first painting of 2014 is completed.

Update on Cherries & Lace

Moving right along - lol.  While working on this painting I realized that my reference photo could be improved.  The table edge behind the lace needed to be darker.  This is very time consuming but I feel it will be well worth the effort in the finished painting.

Finished Tiger? & Early Stages of a New Painting!

I believe the tiger is finished and ready to sign. Many thanks to bridgetds at Flickr for the reference photo. It is very cloudy today so the picture is not perfect but very close to the actual painting

.

I am also posting the early stages of a new painting (well I did the drawing about a year ago).  It is also 20x20 inches and since it was already drawn I decided to work on it.  My reference photo.

I am starting some smaller, 8x8 inch, flower paintings which are more in my comfort zone. I am working on the sketch of a red rose now and will post soon.

Tiger WIP

No excuses......No promises........
Just a small update.

Tiger WIP II

I am slowly working on the bamboo leaves and decided to start dropping some color in the face.  I have a couple of ideas bouncing around in my head for new paintings so I would like to make steady progress on this one before I get to many projects going.

Tiger WIP & Lady Margaret's link at DPW

I have painted this tiger previously as an 8x8 inch.  Now I want to paint it large so here is the beginnings of the tiger painting as a 20x20 inch on a 1.5 inch stretcher frame covered with Arches watercolor paper.  Photo Credit: bridgetds at Flickr.com

I also varnished "Lady Margaret" without any difficulties and have posted her for sale on my DPW site.  Here is a link - http://www.dailypaintworks.com/fineart/vicki-greene/lady-margaret/141473

Lady Margaret - Finished

"Lady Margaret" is finished.  This is a 10x10 inch stretched watercolor paper "canvas" and will be varnished.  I really enjoyed painting this one because she seemed to have so much personality.  Once the varnishing is complete I will list her for sale on DPW.

Lady Margaret WIP V

I am getting closer to "The End" of this painting.  There is still a considerable amount of work to be done on the hat but otherwise just some minor touchups. Thoughts/comment are appreciated.

Lady Margaret - WIP IV

I won't offer a lot of reasons and excuses as to why this isn't finished but I did want to post a WIP shot to show that I am still working it.  I have continued to work on the face and I have started the background. 

Lady Margaret - WIP III

The weather finally cleared up enough for me to take a picture of Lady Margret's progress.  There is still a lot of refining to do to the face and of course the hat, scarf and chest but it is moving in the right direction. 

Lady Margaret - WIP II

I have had very little painting time since the last post but to keep you updated and myself motivated I am posting what I have done. Lady Margaret is slowly coming together.
