Set the Sail

Today I painted something totally different from what I usually paint. It started me seeing wonderful photo with this boat and with photographer Helgi Maripuu permission I decided to give it a try.

Yesterday we saw this little Pug in the park. Kids were very excited and hugged and patted the poor dog for a long time.

Orchid

For Daily Paintworks The Amalgam Challenge I painted this Orchid. I chose for my inspiration Diane Hoeptner's paintings. I love her use of patterns on background.
I'm afraid I chose too bright background and orchid is disappearing. Oh, well  ...

Like already few weeks, I really don't  have time to paint in the beginning of the week, so instead of the painting here are photos of the pine tree new spring shoots ("candles").

For "The Make it Move" challenge on DailyPaintwork site.
I love to paint with palette knife, but always after using only palette knife for a while comes this longing to use brushes, so for this painting I used no 8 and 12 Brights.

I started this painting already in February, together with my palette knife painting with the same tulips, but wasn't happy with vases on picture. Changes they forms and colors few times and decided it's finished now.
