These two paintings are my final projects (and also my entry for the giveaway, thank you for that opportunity!). I made some mistakes, the biggest being that I wasn't always painting with intention and as a result made some errors. I made notes from the Final Thoughts lesson to keep next to my table to remind me of the process. I'm looking forward to continuing to play with all the techniques I learned here. And I've already started another one of your classes. So grateful for all I was able to learn! Thank you once again!

Ok, here goes with several of the paintings I did from the lessons, plus a few I did on my own, trying to use what I learned in class.

Warm ups:

Delphinium:

Not my most successful painting of the class but it's grown on me :)

Queen Anne's Lace.

These are my favorites of the three attempts.

Buddleia

I had to do this one 3 or 4 times before I got one the way I wanted. I have to admit I struggled with the subject for a slightly odd reason -- Here in the US this plant is invasive and because of that I dislike it. The flowers are pretty, though, and I'm glad I conquered my dislike to get a painting I think turned out pretty well. Expressive Florals - image 10 - student project

Misc:

These first two I think were part of a lesson but I don't remember which one so I put them here.

Thank you for looking at my work! Constructive criticism welcomed.
