"Blue Light"
12 x 24 inches, oil on canvas
A new painting, large-scale for me. Painted from life, before the flowers got too wilty! Hint: always paint the flowers first.
Also, when you're painting anything painted on anything else - the design on this vase, the lettering on this bowl, and yes, even tattoos on human skin - paint the form first. Below, you can see I painted the vase, rounded in space (minus the highlights from the spotlight), before adding the blue design. I didn't wait for the paint to dry before adding the blue, though that's sometimes helpful.
You can see a 30 second time-lapse video of the underpainting for this piece on Facebook.

Very beautiful! You should work on a larger scale more often.
