My Next Project :D

Wednesday, June 13, 2012

Photobucket

UPDATE:  This gorgeous photo is from my new favorite blog, White on Rice Couple.
Check out the post here


I have had this lovely photo in my project file for quite some time.  I probably filched it from someone's blog.  If this is your image please let me know, and I will post a link!  I started an 8" X 10" painting of it Monday (oil on canvas), and it should take me several weeks to paint it.

What do you think:  Is it a good choice?

I will not have time to paint today because I am running errands and having lunch with my mother and grandmother.  What are your plans for today?

I will catch-up with your blogs this evening.

Until next time...

Blessings!
Ricki Jill

  2. Oh, yes, that will be beautiful!

    Today? Well, it is the last day of a meeting for My Honey here in Ft. Lauderdale so tomorrow we will be on the road again. I'm looking forward to a romantic dinner for two tonight.

    Hugs,

  4. hi Ricki Jill, A beautiful image. Perfect for a painting project. Love the color of the old jar with the lovely colors of the flowers. We've had our weekend planned for some time. It is a celebration of Father's Day and my grandson's birthday. It was going to be either here or a get together at the beach. Guess where I'm going to meet up with all the family? "Beach Trip"! No complaints from me. Today I'm packing.……Hope your weekend is lovely.

  6. I think it is beautiful and I love it. Maybe you could make some prints of the oil one and sell them. I would definitely buy one. Here I am again pushing you to sell your wonderful works. HA! HA!

  7. Very Pretty image. I can't wait to see how you reinterpret it onto canvas!

    Today is library day, I take the girls every wendsday. Until then I'll get some work done in the studio and then make dinner. In other words nothing over the top but a nice day.

  10. this will be amazing, I just know it, I have been shopping for new glasses, walking in the sunshine and have lunch with friends, I cannot wait to see this completed, its not my photo but I knew it was familiar, I painted from this very photo a few months back, and I found it on google, I have never posted my painting or my version of this photo though, what a coincidence, great minds think alike!!!!I did mine in watercolor, I can't wait to see yours in oils,

  11. It's beautiful, Ricki Jill! I love it!! In fact, I'd love a painting like that for my own home...I just need to get some canvas and paints and start practicing. I haven't painted since my college art classes. How sad is that? And I loved it so much! *sigh*
    Hope you have a great day and enjoy your lunch with your mother and grandmother :)

  12. Hey Lady, as usual you have picked a gorgeous subject! I am crazy about blue jars, and pink roses! Today, well I need to clean, and put away groceries. I went to my favorite discount grocery store but got home too late to put it all away. Just a normal day. :) Enjoy your painting!

  25. I love Mason jars, and that blue one is fabulous! Today I am pondering how my baby just took the physics regents (and how it could've possibly been "EASY")

  27. I was just over at Lauries (In my dreams I see) she said you were working on an oil of this picture, I love that picture and can't wait to see it in oil, Lauries is in water color. Oh, I want to be able to paint in my next life...I'd like to be tall too!
