Today was a baseball tournament day, leaving little time for painting. So, here I have painted a little floral scene from the edge of the old cellar. Wild roses have snuck into this bed - and I will soon remove them, but for now, they are a nice compliment to the old white and yellow irises. This is a very small mixed media piece - only 4x6 inches. I started this one on a white surface, only because I didn't think of toning it until I had already done my pastel sketch! Building the petals and foliage up with molding paste, I then started the background with oils, as I left the paste drying. The flowers were the last to be painted, finishing with a little knife work. I am planning a full day painting at the arboretum tomorrow - I sure hope the weather cooperates! Painting number 877 in 877 days :)
