Geraniums

Geraniums, Oil on Board, 16 3/4" x 24 1/2"

The completed piece.  I did increase the size of some center leaves.  The reds are uncooperative as a digital photograph image.  The seem not to be in focus.  However, the color is fairly true as are the petal forms.

Geraniums

Geraniums, Oil on Board, 16 3/4" x 24 1/2"
The center leaves seem too small against the large center bloom.  I've increased the size of a few and will do even more.

Geraniums

Geraniums, Oil on Board, 16 3/4" x 24 1/2"
I've been painting daily without posting pictures.  The work with red is slow because the translucency makes it difficult to build values. The photograph here does not clearly show the forms of the flowers or the work accomplished.  Red is a difficult color to capture digitally.
