Day five

The class finished up today and I was able to complete the door and one side of the cabinet. After I get home and the paint is completely dry, I will paint the inside of the door and the other side of the cabinet. Then there is some trim work, as well.

This was a great class, especially if you love to paint, paint, paint!

Day four

Yesterday I finished the cabinet door.

Today I made a lot of progress on the side. Once I finish this I'll have to work on another project until this dries completely since I'll have to turn these pieces over to paint the other side.

Day three

Today we went to the museum to see old pieces of rosemaling in the Os style.

We also saw the pieces that were entered in this year's show. Isn't this one beautiful?

Day two

Lots of flowers and leaves today, lots of fun.

Day one

This is the door to the cabinet I'm painting. Yesterday I backgrounded the piece so I could paint the scrolls today. They were quite a challenge and I'm glad they're done. Next I'll be working on all types of flowers. What fun!

Blue flower plate

I finished this plate with a ring of blue flowers. I hope you like it.

Step by step

The center rose is painted last because it's "on top" of the other flowers. There will still be a little line work, then the inner bead and then the rim. These flowers have been fun to paint.

White plate

I just finished the plate. After all the flowers were done I painted the gold trim around the edge. The white heart in the middle was painted separately and glued in place. This was an enjoyable plate to paint, with bright, happy colors.

Making progress

I finished all the large flowers and now I'll be putting in all the little flowers, leaves and stems. I have a small white heart that goes in the center after I do some decorative work on it. Then a little gold trim and it will be done.

Scalloped Heart Plate

I've started a new plate in the Os style. I like these fanciful flowers.

Little Plate

I finished the little plate with clusters of flowers around the rim.

Phase One

I 

I finished the center design and next I'll paint the rim.

Back at it

I haven't painted in several months, but I'm back at it. This is a very small plate, 8 inches, so I'm using tiny brushes. I enjoy seeing the design emerge as I go along.
