February – Day 23

All while painting this, I was giggling internally. I totally botched this. Had something good going on with the backgrounds. Added blooms. Came out cool too. Added stems. Sad, sad, hideous stems. So, cover them up with grasses good idea yeah? Um, uh-uh.

So then I thought, how about a digital crop. Yeah. I can live with that. Ha ha ha ha. Just proving to myself, there is so much more to learn.

But the truth is above. 5 x 7.

I thought about naming it, the “Queen of Putrescence”. That terrific word came to mind. Hey, I might never have the chance to use it again! I had to look up the spelling, and that led to the video. And of course I had to watch. That movie is full of funny.

Made changes to these two as well.

On Bobby’s Girl, I softened the lines on the left that were bothering me. I covered some of the green texture up top, and added highlight to the vase. The before is first, the redo after.

Here I added a soft pencil line to the table edge, more turquoise to the leaves, and light areas on the upper left.

I could kick myself for not getting before shots of these last three pieces. Oh well. Spilt milk. Today I added the vase, table, greenery. More Sunkissed Peach to the background, to soften a couple of rough edges. Scratch marks. Just a few because I scratched off some of the collaged tissue. And a lot of turquoise and indigo scribbles.

This might be a WIP. Haven’t decided. I really like it the way it is. But that pesky voice inside my head is whispering that I need to actually add the roses. Keep it simple Sheila.
