040216 12x12 Summer Flowers

This painting features coneflowers and Queens Anne's Lace with lovely, delicate colors.  I start by blocking in the dark greens of the trees in the background and start popping in the earth colors and greens in the foreground.

I continue blocking in the earth tones and the greenery. I scratch in the outline of the bird bath using a nifty tool with a pointed rubber tip.

Details of the coneflowers and Queens Anne's Lace are added.

The birdbath didn't make it to the finished painting which you can see here:
