Hi Everyone! I hope you are all having a wonderful week. It's been warm and windy here. I haven't gotten much accomplished the last couple of days but I did finish my trio of dandelion paintings that I shared with you
here. Thanks so much for all the advice and encouragement. Well....I think I finished it. Or at least as finished as I'm going to get for now.
This is what they looked like before...
Pretty flat and dull....
I put a darker blue wash on it....
I sanded them...
...and then I put an antique medium over them....
...and these are the results...
...this one looks better in person than in this picture...maybe a tad too much light here....
I like them so much better now. They don't look that flat anymore and the color reminds me of old denim jeans...always comfortable. I only have one problem with them now...since I changed the color of blue, they don't go with my bedroom very well. The blues are completely different now and I don't like them where I wanted to put them. So, that means I need to find another place for them and make something else to go in my bedroom. Maybe something with a red background.... Thanks for stopping by!

I'm sorry they don't go in the bedroom any more Holly, but I love the extra layers.

You did an amazing job transforming the pictures. They really look good. Hope you find just the right place to hang them now.

If I had one 'wish', after seeing how amazing your dandelion pictures are, it would be that I had half as much talent as you, obviously, do.
