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 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.
