Here are my newest beauties! I really love the colors on these. And I enjoy painting the whimsical patterns. It's very soothing.
I like to paint while I watch TV. I say watch but I really mean listen. I concentrate on painting and only look up when something interesting happens. It's amazing how little there is on TV that's interesting enough to draw my attention!
I have developed a work flow for my painting.
Step One: Stare at object to be painted for hours trying to get an idea of which way I want to go
Step Two: Pick out a couple of patterns I want to include for sure
Step Three: Pick out my color scheme
Step Four: Get to painting!
Step Five: Fix anything I don't like
Originally I intended to go with a Christmas theme in blues and either gold or silver. But I never could decide on a shade of blue. So I ended up with green, tomato red and a custom mixed gold. I have some other candlesticks that may end up a wintry blue. Maybe I just have to stare at them a bit longer!
