Red rim

I finished the center design and painted the rim red. While I wait for the paint to dry, I'll decide what design to paint on the outside edges. 

More flowers

I had fun yesterday painting more flowers. They look a little scattered now, but once I paint the stems and leaves, it should all come together.

The center flower

This is the main, center flower. I still have more flowers and leaves to paint, and then a boarder around the outside.

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.
