I wanted to show photos of the beginning, middle and end stages of a similar painting.  I painted on them each while doing a demonstration for the Sanford Seminole Art Association recently.  Still need to finish two, but think the third is complete.

Just finished this. It's my first painting using a photo from a site called "Paint My Photo" which I've been interested in recently.  The photo is owned by Ainslie G and I wish to credit her here as well as on that site.  What first interested me in her photo was the strong shadows and dark/light contrasts.  I printed her photo in black and white before using it as a source.  As you can see I became more interested in the background textures than contrast and shading.  I do like the result though.

Two recent paintings, the brighter one, "Tomorrow's Bouquet" was chosen for the 2015 Central Florida Watercolor Show at Lew Gardens.

This painting, "Yesterday's Bouquet"  has collage elements.  Both paintings have some experimental spraying of paint over stencil shapes.
