My Work In Progress Bird of Paradise Painting...



So, I finally put my bird of paradise painting on the easel, with every intention of making progress.  Then I decided the baby blue background wasn't working for me.  Now it's a darker shade of blue.  In fact a little bit darker then this photo shows, the flash went off and has altered the color somewhat.  I feel better about it now, but while it's progress in how I feel about it, it's sort of a horizontal progress.  I am in much the same place I was when I shared this painting to begin with, it's just a slightly different direction.

I did, however, finish another painting earlier this week, my Halloween fairy painting.  She's on eBay here or you may visit her further down on my page...

    Progess is good. I think the orange bird of paradise will so totally pop against that beautiful blue you have put it. Can't wait to see it. Happy PPF

    Thank you all so much! I appreciate your encouragement.

    Shannon, I think your etsy shop is very sweet, I haven't yet been brave enough to try etsy.
