This and that...
Yesterday I got to work on two totally different paintings.
First I finished another color glaze on my Hibiscus.
This is getting close to be done now, but still not finished.
A bit later I got to my pastels and did this quick study of Big Sur coast-line.
This is to try out relatively-new for me painting surface
called Multimedia Artboard Pastel.
Those ultra-light panels are made of composite of paper fibers and resin.
Very light, but extremely durable, those panels are one of the latest news on
market. I tried them first during our recent workshop with Bill Creevy
and I have to say- I'm impressed with this new surface.
Study below is available at Daily Paintworks.

"Radiance". Work in Progress, oil.
Yes, I'm started working one one more "Flemish style" traditional Oil painting. And this one is another Hibiscus. Hibiscuses are not my favorite flowers, however they somehow turned to be some of my very favorite floral subjects. Maybe just because those are spectacular to show play of light and shadows...
Never-less I'm working on one more of those and up to date mostly done with underpainting stage. it will be more likely one more session to finalize it. Then I'll need to make sure it properly dried and can start with color glazing. Beautiful process, almost similar to meditation. I truly enjoy it.
meanwhile this is drying I'm going to do something not that technically complicated...
If you are interested to see how this floral painting is progressing, check back later.
I'll post my progress report here!...

Different support. I didn't work on Wallis for a while and enjoying it now.

"Tears on Red", oil.
"Tears on Red", 12 x 12"
Oil on Ampersand Gessobord.
One more in my new for 2013 series of Still Life Flemish-style paintings in Oil.
This painting was more about contrast and play of light, what gave me opportunity
to play with limited pallet. I'm pretty sure I'm done with this one now.
