Work in Progress

I'm often asked about my process. Below is a painting in Progress. One more session and I'll be finished.

This is where I start. I actually watched a utube video on how to arrange fresh flowers. 

I paint in oil but I start by toning my canvas with acrylic paint.

Once the drawing is down, I begin from the middle and paint outward.

When working with a neutral background in my set up I'm never sure what the end color will be.

I was eating Watermelon on my break and thought the color and shape would be perfect in the design.
I'm alway playing with the design and moving things around.
