Thought I would take a picture of what I am working on right now. I find it really helps to see the painting from this perspective. It shows me where the painting still needs work or if the composition is working. It's a rainy day here in Portland...surprise...rain in Portland! I couldn't get the right light to take a good picture and was having trouble getting the color in the white flower to photograph more purple. Some of the greens are really off also. When I get the piece done I will try and set it up with better light. The flower center isn't done and the bottom right needs more work. I really tried to get more texture and paint in my brush strokes. I tried working with Gamblins Galkyd Lite as a medioum and really liked that I could get the paint on thicker with a lot of brush marks showing. Not really very visible in the photo.
