I’m thrilled with this painting, a labor of love.

I started with a smaller version of this called Abstract Floral. It inspired me to do this much larger piece.

Abstract Floral 

This larger piece had several interruptions where I had to leave it for days at a time, where I had to leave it for days at a time. It really broke my rhythm – after leaving it for days at a time I do this rooting around in the studio before I can settle back into the painting.

After one of these breaks I returned to Taking Flight and started painting in the background with the colors I had on my pallet, and it worked out so beautifully.

I kept referring to her as Abstract Floral #2. While painting it – it usually stood on one end with the reference photo and smaller finished piece all standing with the same end up.

Once completed I was studying the piece making sure that the details were finished and looking to see where I wanted to place my signature.

And there it was –a flying floral! Well that’s what it looks like to me any way. And so without further a do – I signed it!

Sign – Sealed – Delivered

It’s yours

Keeping the brushes wet,
