This is the textured base painting - the pair having been painted together with the same colour scheme and some grid collage added in areas.
This is probably the third or fourth stage, as at one time I had a pair of the warm curtains, but removed the left hand one which appeared about two thirds across, and the small lemon round pot full of small flower shapes developed later . I was so engrossed I forgot to photo the earlier stages!!!
Latest stage, awaiting result of working on the second painting. Then I can view them together and see where I need to go.
I have been asked to create a pair of contemporary style 16 x 16 inch canvases for a bedroom based on creams, greens and lemons using floral images and any other additions I prefer. Its been great fun to have such freedom and I have glued gold ribbon down the left hand side of the window and textured grid on the lefthand side of the windows. The window boxes arrived when I was looking for somewhere to create some more of the inevitable darks in the painting. In other words the painting talks to me as I progress never knowing where it will end.

I really like the grid collage in the base painting.
I'll try that in a painting for a graphic novel I'm working on.
Great painting in progress post.
Thanks Robert for keeping in touch with my new posts. Ive now been working on the second of the pair and bit worried they are so different... but I went to life drawing session yesterday so will post these sketches first. Loved your INVISIBLE PICNIC - did you see my comment??
I think as an artist its good to try something different.
Your comment on "The Invisible Picnic" was a good push to finish the second half. I hope to have it finished soon because of the positive reaction to the story.
This looks great, Joan! I am planning to try some mixed media acrylic art this year and, if it turns out half as nice as this, I will be very happy indeed.
