Midnight Bovine

18x24" acrylic on canvas
I am so excited to finally be painting cows!!!

Release

Acrylic on canvas 18x24. This is the result of 2 sessions. I am very happy with the finished piece. Really a release!

Yellow Irises, detail

A much better photo of the yellow and violet flowers. The complementary colors worked well together. This feels like a good exercise in the hot morning sun. I'm ready to start something bigger!

Yellow Irises, complete

Poor quality photo from my phone camera, but it is a good representation of the vase, which was a very deep purple glass. Every week that I paint there are new flowers in bloom, it is so nice to pick the flowers and have a memory in paint of them weeks later! ~ Sarah

In progress, Yellow Irises

Painting session this morning, about an hour and a half total. I usually do not sketch with a pencil first, but my subject was so tall and I had limited "canvas" (actually black matboard) that I needed to rough it in first. You can see the pencil lines of the vase.
