Make Art Everyday 2019 :: May Highlights
In the month of May flowers in the garden began to bloom in mass. Because of this change in season, I began to shift my creative focus towards floral still-life paintings, with the intermittent portrait sketch.
Day 132: Watercolor sketch of purple bearded iris in my garden sketchbook.
Day 127: Finished this floral still-life painting of “Irises and English Bluebells”, oil on panel, 18x12 inches, AVAILABLE through the Principle Gallery
Day 135: Peonies, oil on cradled panel, 6 x 6 inches (Available)
Day 136: “Peonies Festiva Maxima and Maria Sybilla Merian Book”, watercolor on paper, 11 x 15 inches (Available)
Day 141: Sketch of Naomi drawing
Day 145: Sketch al-fresco lunch with at a dear friend’s house.
Day 151: The beginnings of a drawing of Naomi. I started to realize I wanted to spend some more time on my portrait drawings, developing them more than most opportunities afforded, so as a result, I would work on a drawing over a few days… I love all stages of the drawing process and feel that even incomplete phases are beautiful.
Thank you as always for supporting my journey and looking in on what I have been creating in the daily art project.
