I've been busy

I finished the front of all eleven ornaments for my rosemaling club (Ornament Of The Year) and five on the back as well.  After I finish the back of the remaining six, I'll varnish them all and then send them off to our OOTY master.

Another completed project

I don't usually paint on a green background, but I like the way this turned out.

More flowers

These flowers are fun to paint.  Some I've never painted before, and that keeps it interesting.

A new beginning

I backgrounded this plate some time ago, so I just had to pick a pattern, transfer it to the plate and start painting.

And now the leaves

What a difference the leaves make.  Not only do they connect the flowers and fill in empty spaces, they give a unity to the whole piece.

The garden grows

Just two groups of small flowers left and then the leaves.  These flowers have been fun to paint.

Pretty parrot

I've added two parrot tulips to the picture frame.  Two more large flowers and a few groups of little flowers and then the leaves will complete the project.
