August 30th, 2014: Oil on Board, 8" x 10", Work in Progress. I'm trying to take advantage of the flowers that are left before they are all gone so I thought I'd do a slightly larger painting of some Black Eyed Susans. I flew through the underpainting and all was going well until I went back in to work on the flowers, which I couldn't seem to nail even after wiping them out and trying again about four times or so. I seem to have troubles with yellow, getting enough contrast and still keeping the color semi accurate. So I gave up for the day and I'm not sure what will become of this as the arrangement is already all wilted. I was really excited about painting that can too, oh well.
