Well it has been several weeks with nothing to report, but now I have a Kent Box Easel to take with me on my paint outings to paint scenes in my area and abroad. I am gathering all the items I need.
I am travelling to the beautiful area of Lake Garda, Italy next week to see my daughter, but I will also to do some painting. I have done drawing and painting outside before but only in areas where my family and friends have been around but this time I will be exposed to the general public, but at least I wont know what they are saying - I cannot speak Italian!!
My painting of a Blue Iris I am touching up again. I put the painting on www.wetcanvas.com and I was given some advice to put mauve/maroon on the flower, I tried this and I didn't like it so I have gone back to the blue and done some blending and hopefully it will look even better. I will post it soon.
I have a couple of paintings to finish, a copy of a photograph of a town in Tuscany, a still life of table decorations with flowers, glass and china plates, on a green table cloth and a light coloured background. I changed the background to dark though as it looks better - I am leaving this one to get a fresh eye to see where I am with it though.
So lots to do over the next few weeks.
