Cramming: update at 10 pm

I have two paintings which have to be completed before tomorrow. Its going to get a bit lonely in the studio in a few hours time when all you sensible folk are sleeping soundly.
So to keep myself company I am going to blog the progress of these last two through their stages of development.

Maybe one day I will look back on this and l.e.a.r.n. to plan my studio time more efficiently -not always possible with two young children and earnest attempts at Having A Life.

So indulge me, while I talk to myself for the next 12 hours......

Here are the lillies - with another layer of colour on. I plan to tone back the orange but it does add an exotic extra something.




Now I have added red back in and done more with the background. Leaves next.

10.00 pm
Painted in the leaves. Just seen the time. Going to be a looooonnnngggg night ahead.


Ok its midnight now....leaving this to dry off a bit and moving on to orange poppies. Listening to Amy Winehouse....I am dancing around the studio to keep lively.
