When I went to school, I knew poetry was not a dead thing. I knew it was always written by the living, even though the dateline said the man was dead.

The Story of "Magenta Orchid"

Working on an 11" x 14" painting of an orchid. First, some background and sketchwork outlining.  And then setting the stage for the petals.  Magenta is a hard color to mix, so I grabbed Quinacridone Violet, which works well for what I need. The reason magenta is hard to mix is that when you start blending colors together, it dulls them, which is great for muted effects, but tough on bright colors. In those cases, direct from the tube is best. Let's see how far I get with this tonight. ETC: And a bit more...  MORE ETC: Further, but this time taken with the scanner...  AND MORE ETC: Taking a break...  |

 I should finish during my next session with it. I obviously have to complete the center, plus a bit more work on a few spots. |

I reworked a portion of my latest painting because the white in it was distracting me. From the rework, I've created wallpaper, if you're interested.  |
