"Robed in Red" 15" x 11"This was an experiment in colors...trying to work
the foreground and background by overlapping the
negative shapes. I love "carving" out the leaves or
petals of flowers from the first dried washes of the paint.
I simply apply a darker second wash and then avoiding the
shape I wish to have in the negative. I will sometimes pencil
in some guidelines so I don't get lost.

This painting is gorgeous. I've been so taken with your layering of images and wondered how you achieved that result. Thanks for giving an explanation of your process. I love that I keep learning something new from other artist's blogs.
Very nice--tulips are always my favorites. Lovely job on this!
So pretty.
I appreciate you describing how you achieve it.
I also love 'carving' out of dried paint and use that a lot for leaves - but I love the way things overlap in your paintings!
Your experiment worked out beautifully!
Lovely work.. All your paintings are very charming.. I like the style a lot..
