Painting in Progress, by Kim Blair

Poppy sketch in oil... ready to start painting


Poppy painting half way to completion


I thought it might be fun to show you my set up for painting flowers... with a second shot of the painting half way to the finish line!  I photographed this hot pink poppy in a neighbourhood garden here in the Highlands.

This fabulous specimen, along with its 'siblings' (multiple heads on this plant) was growing along the side of a home next to an alley.  As you walked up the street (or alley) you were met with a riot of hot pink blossoms dancing in the breeze.  It was love at first sight!

On Monday or Tuesday of next week I will be posting the finished painting... for sale.
