And now a tray

I've just started a black tray, in a symmetrical Os pattern. There will be a large round center flower and "roses" to the left and right. Then there are tulips and leaves. I'll put a design around the sides, as well.

A red plate

Here's the finished plate. I enjoy choosing flowers when I paint in the Valdres style. It's like picking flowers from the garden.

Progressing

The plate is filling in. I'll have to do some more line work in the center, and then decorate the rim.

Making progress

I'm making progress, adding a few more leaves and flowers.

 

A new beginning

I've started a new plate. After creating the design and transferring it to the plate, I had to decide which leaves and flowers were behind the others. The ones in the back get painted first.

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.
