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.
