This is the start of a new painting, actually a commission I am doing. First I sketched out various arrangements in my sketch book. Then I photographed what I felt was the best composition. So, now I am working from several photo's and the original dried hydrangea's. I toned the canvas with an oil and gamsol wash of Burnt Sienna; then since I was working from a photo I gridded out the canvas and sketched in the composition with white pastel pencil.

Hi Jackie, it's me Sally down in Moab. I am really liking your flower series paintings! Your blog is very interesting and informative with excellent photos!
I'm not sure I have the discipline to keep up a blog if I attach one to my website. By the way, I have some of the other artists paintings up on the www.petragallery.com site.
i love the in-progress painting - looks interesting and contemporary as is!
