Detail of new work in progress, early stages. Tried some different colours for underpainting this time, not fond of the blue rose 😅

A floral acrylic painting on a wall with a mostly blue abstract background. A large round pot with female figures sits on a surface. There are varying species of flowers arranged in the pot including tulips, roses, foxgloves, bat flower, lily, daisies, and cyclamen. There is draped fabric and a single tulip lying in the foreground.

Working on a new large painting tonight, getting a bit nearer to the atmosphere I’m chasing for this one. A long way to go.

Thanks ever so much.
Yes audiobooks. I listen through Audible, there’s a great Sherlock Holmes collection read by Stephen Fry who does a marvellous job! Audible has the BBC collections also. I will check out the The Thursday Murder Club Series ❤️

I’ve enjoyed painting this absurd combo of flowers. Listened to about 50 hours of Sherlock and Poirot while I was at it.

Took this 1m x 1m acrylic #wip out to look at today, it helps to put them away for a while sometimes. This one will be all native Australian florals. Ground is mostly done & a few flowers under painted. Can’t recall why I quit on it now.
