Finally, a new post! Thanks for hanging in there and waiting for me.
For the past few weeks I’ve really been trying to take time for ME! and have been making painting a priority.
Having just read Rhonda Carpenter’s latest post, I realize this post follows in that same vein (not something I planned, it just happened). As my post title would indicate, this turned out to be a new painting experience for me. I definitely got out of my “rut” with these three!

As payment for all the help she has given me, I agreed to paint 3 paintings for a friend of mine.
The paintings were to be of sunflowers and bumblebees, using photo references she supplied. I wanted the bumblebee to flow from the first panel, through the center panel and onto the third.
I began with the two side canvases, each 20x20.

Ooooooo, I LIKE IT!!! And you didn't even have to throw a bucket of water on it to get it to work :)
Very nice paintings, Deb! It's nice to see you posting.
I always feel very nervous about working on commissions...Yours are turning out perfectly. What a lucky friend to receive these beautiful pieces!
Rhonda, too funny - and since it's acrylic it wouldn't have mattered how much water I tossed onto it!!!
Thanks Christiane, although perfect is not a word I would use!!
