It has been one crazy week, around here but I wanted to pop my head in for a moment just to say hello. Remember the pictures from the Decatur Garden Tour I shared a while back? Well, the only art I've had time to work on this week was sketching out a painting of one of my all time favorite gardens- Ryan Gainey. We're lucky enough to have him right here in Decatur and he's always generous about sharing his space with the public. Anyway, my new painting is from one of his vignettes. Actually, probably my next one too- I LOVE his style!
So here's what I have so far- you would not believe how it took to sketch out!
And here's my reference:
If you look closely, you may notice that I made a few changes, I wanted more of the Clematis on the left showing and also, we'd just missed the roses blooming, so I changed the dead blooms to some of my Perle d'Or which I always enjoy painting :)
That's all for now, I'll try to get caught up on my blog visits tomorrow!
I miss you guys!
xx
