Well, I took a year or so off from the blog, but thought I would get it going again. Thanks to those of you who've let me know what you would like to see on the blog site. Where to start? How about a finished painting from a previous post of a work in progress.
Here's my Hollyhock. I'm crazy about my flowers. Oil on canvas, large format 54" x 42" inches.
I started out on the wall and after I blocked in, stretched the canvas and completed the painting. I love working on these large formats when I'm living in Kentucky. (And have the space.) I used several photos of this beauty while working. Plus, I had the luxury that first season to walk outside and get some closeups. I've been working on some smaller works un-stretched then mounting them on masonite. Helps with traveling so I can just roll them up after painting outside.
Happy Painting!!!
Very impressive Kimberly and so unusual to find an artist that paints from 2x3" to 54x42"!
