I added in sheer violet. Heavy body paint ratio 1/2 paint to 1/2 Golden Gel medium. If you don’t have retarder you’re going to need to wet it down often as the gel dries fast I went around the Red and magenta borders with the violet to soften. Inner corner eye, bottom lip, outer rim of nostril, chin-then swipe down. Added violet around blooms. Over the whiteadded in water to my brush. Once I varnish it will really pop the colors #cherryblossom #cherrytree #geisha #modernart #art #painting #drawing #gallery #japan #americanartist #decor #interiordesign #arttutorial

My collectors who commissioned the large ballerina paintings commissioned two 48x30 cherry Blossom panels for their beautiful home.
Just varnished
Textured blooms and branches
I did an alcohol pour for the background then contrasted where needed
I'm doing two cherry Blossom panels for one of my collectors. They're the owners of both the ballerinas
Before branch/bud contrasts
I've severely neglected posts on my blog. My girls we're home and we have a new Airdale Terrier puppy named Boe keeping us busy. My nephew and his beautiful bride were married. We flew our daughters to Seattle for my birthday, then drove down to Eugene, Oregon for th wedding. The blue painting below is their wedding present from us.

Thought I was done. Nope. I'm done now40x36 commissioned #cherryblossom . Edges continue with the vines
Said goodbye to two of my paintings this past weekend. I love these pieces so it's was extremely hard.
Commission 36x36. Based on my 48x48. The collector loved the larger one but didn't have the space. Thick textures on the blooms
And these are my old yucky floors. My husband installed new ones. Now the kitchen is next.
Starting a new 48x36 blending portrait art, geometrics, and splatter
