Almost there - yellows are actually more intense in real life.
I desperately want to start riding again, but the weather is against me; it's still very wet and bone-chillingly cold. My fingers almost froze cleaning the paddock today, so sitting in the saddle, holding the reins was definitely out. I did spend a good [and happy] hour grooming the lad though. We both enjoyed it. Then he had his backyard grass time, surrounded by a small flock of mallards.
Anyway, as always, please feel welcome to leave your comments. I love them. ;) |
They already look so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteIts cold here too! Too cold to be outside for very long... nope pugs don't like cold.

Ha ha! We all do that Kathryn, and then wonder what possessed us! But it's going to look great, so keep at it! And that Hibiscus is absolutely stunning!
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing like cold weather to put one off riding, but once you're in the saddle (and some warm leather gloves!) it's totally exhilarating!
Not much left now, keep it up! The Hibiscus is really pretty, I think one of the most difficult colors are yellows, but this one is looking so good.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice sunday...hopefully with riding weather :-)
Beautiful paintings, really fabulous job! One lady at the barn told me to skip up and down the isle before riding. She said it really warms you up and gets you limber:)
ReplyDeleteAgree it is a difficult piece you have started. I am sure you will do justice to it. Keep going.
ReplyDeleteThis painting is beautiful, such detail Kathryn! Can't wait to see the finished piece.
ReplyDeleteThese are already gorgeous! I like them both, but that yellow flower is exquisite! :0)
ReplyDeleteThese are both coming out very very well. I cant wait to see them in their final form. Your clients from the previous post must be very happy. You can be sure to get a lot more business this way.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes Kathryn,
They are both looking amazing Kathryn. Beautiful colors and contrast, yet still they both have that delicacy of flowers. And I'm a little jealous that you got to spend an hour grooming your lad. I always loved that, it was almost as fun as riding. :)
ReplyDeleteYou have done it, Kathryn! There is a great sense I'd three-dimensionality on each pedal and the colors are vivid yet harmonic. I can imagine how much effort went into this. You are almost there!
ReplyDeleteI really like the red-green color scheme. It's a very difficult one but you pulled it off! It sings with intensity yet not garish at all. Well done!
For the Hibiscus painting, I'm curious what color mixture you used for the shadow? It looks really lovely.
They are both marvellous, Kathryn! You are great with flowers, their petals and leaves are so alive!
ReplyDeletewow, these are both incredible!! i absolutely LOVE the burgundy/green combination. i can't WAIT to see how this comes out. both, gorgeous! hope you can ride soon!
