Easter Bloom

First of all: Happy Easter!

These lovely flowers just begged to be sketched for my 10th piece in the  '30 Days of Daily Sketching' challenge.
Another experiment regarding the approach - I started out with watercolors and then added some lines with colored pencils and a bit of pen lines.

One third of my challenge is already done! - Now I need some good ideas for what to sketch for the next two thirds!

'L' is for Lemon

The third fruit painting - and I've decided to 'join the bandwagon' and start a series of fruit paintings following the alphabet. Not in the A to Z order, and not within a given time frame, but I always love the idea of series or groups of painting belonging together.

So here is the first one: "'L' is for Lemon".
And because I'm free to make the rules as I like them, the previous two paintings belong into this series as well: "('S' is for) Strawberry Trio" and "('K' is for) Kiwi Duet".

Kiwi Duet

Next fruit: Kiwi!

I honestly didn't plan on painting this, but realised on the way to my weekly evening at my atelier that I had nothing to paint there - so I stopped at the store next to the gas station and bought a Kiwi.
The painting is the same size and format as the 'Strawberry Trio' and the do look really nice and almost summery next to each other!

Strawberry Trio

Such a wonderful day today! The sun is shining, all the trees are in bloom, people are smiling - and I got to paint strawberries!

I haven't really painted for almost three weeks now, and it felt good to be back at the easel!
The seeds in the strawberries had me puzzled to begin with, but I realized the 'trick' is to paint the highlight around the seeds - et voilà!

Spring Onion - 1

Nr 4 in my "Take 10 - Spring" challenge, and no flowers today, but: SPRING onions!

They are fresh, green and smell delicious. I'll be having scrambled eggs with spring onions for dinner tomorrow.
But then again - I might just paint them one more time. Find out tomorrow!

Today's goodie (apart from the painting!): the song "Green Onions" by Booker T & the MG's. Cool music, great dance scenes - enjoy and dance along!

Did you recognize all the actors? - comment and let me know!

 

 

Spring Flower - 2

Nr 2 in my "Take 10 - Spring" challenge. The same flower as Nr 1, but I've played with the background color. Lush, vivid, fresh green!

I'm sure there are more variations to be painted of this one. And thinking of spring, flowers are the first things that come to mind for me. Though I do have some other subjects planned as well.
Stay tuned....
