Hi everyone, It is a very wet day in Florida. We have a tropical storm off shore and here inland it has rained all day, often heavy, sometimes gently and it will probably continue for some time. Hopefully there will be no flooding or tornadoes anywhere. The other day I picked a bouquet of zinnias from the garden and sat up a still life to paint. 
Here is the start of the painting.
I have done a little more on it today. There is a little glass vase full of blown glass balls to the left of the vase of flowers. They are sitting on a piece of crochet work.Click on it to see a bigger view!
My flowers are dying
but I have managed to get the painting well underway, so all is well. Don't you just love zinnias? They have always been one of my favorites. Well, just wanted to show you what I am up to today. I love to paint in my studio when it is a rainy day. It is so COZY!
Oh, I do love zinnias, too, and your painting is marvelous. I have no talent in drawing, so I am always amazed that artists can paint what their eye sees. I've seen on the news the newest storm on the coast of Florida and wondered just where you are and if you are getting the awful weather. Whether is it a vicious storm or frightful fire, Mom Nature sometimes doesn't have a heart, does she?
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy seeing your paintings in progress. It's going to be a lovely painting. You are so good at painting lace! I grew zinnias from seed this year and I'm hoping they put on a good show later in Summer and maybe self seed as well.
ReplyDeleteI love Zinnia too! Theya re so colourful and vibrant!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful painting!
