I decided not to be over-detailed on this painting and I like the outcome. We all tend to think we see more than we can actually see, especially when we are looking at art from a distance. The looseness really gave this little painting the feeling of movement.

This painting was originally of a large vase with flowers, I didn't have the urge to do the little happy dance that usually follows after I complete a painting so I decided to overpaint it with an abstract floral and immediately had that urge to dance...yay

This is my vision of what summer looks like turning to fall.  I used transparent paints to start blocking in all of the lights and darks. I find this gives me a really solid start.

I was originally going to paint this bunny on a 6 x 6 inch panel, after looking at it for awhile I decided to go big.  I started with a black under painting which really defines the colours and gives a wonderful depth and adds even more interest to the painting.

Movement is the word of choice today. That is what I was feeling the entire time I was painting this scene, I just kept going back in with my brush for more twists and turns.
