I have been working on a painting of cherry blossom, mainly the mornings as I work most evenings. I actually have a night off tonight, so I've time to update the blog!
This is so far- 14 hours in. Its quite engrossing and I'm enjoying it so far but struggling with some bits too. The white paint can be troublesome to apply.

Here are the colours I've used so far, only 6 and white.
Its also the run up to the SBA exhibition with the private view on Thursday. I'm still not sure if I can make it due to work, got some large bookings coming up. I hope I can make it as so many lovely people are meeting up there.
While working on my painting yesterday, I looked up through the velux window and noticed that I had an onlooker; a beautiful Jay. Happy sunday xx
Beautiful cherry blossom :)x
ReplyDeleteWonderful work! Hope you will make it on Thursday!
ReplyDeleteThanks xx hope so ,would love to meet you guys xxxx
ReplyDeleteHello Claire:blossomed right on paper, beautifully! I hope you will finish before Thursday!
ReplyDeleteReading this made me realise how in tune with nature you are. I would guess it takes as long for you to paint a blossom as it does for the bud to burst and flower.
ReplyDeleteUn trabajo exquisito, precioso. Un saludo.
ReplyDeleteChe bello Claire!!!! Thanks to have posted colors used. I hope I'll learn from you. May be you can do a workshop in future, brava111

ReplyDeleteI also love your cherry blossom, and the white study too, by putting them on the blue background works so beautifully. Hope you have a lovely weekend .
ReplyDeleteVery nice work so far, I'll be sure to check back. Your jays are way different that our blue jays, he's very pretty too. They're curious birds, maybe he wondered what you were working on.
