I was also trying to make the light travel up to the focal point which is the top flower. I had tons of fun painting this.
" Grandmother's Vase" 11x14 oil
This vase belonged to my great great grandmother. I actually enjoyed painting this. I thought it was going to be crazy to paint. I need to get a better photo of this under better lights. The flowers are looking washed out. Another thing on my to do list.
I began oil painting in February of 2008. I love color, light and reflections. I still have much to learn and I'm still trying to find my style. I love realism but I also enjoy the look of impressionism. My goal in the beginning was to fill my walls with my own art. I've almost accomplished that goal.
