Hi All, well I painted this before I had a chance to read all the comments on my original photo. Thus, I am now at this stage. I believe the beauty of the arrangement was in all the delicate fernlike greenery which cover many of the flowers & will droop over both sides & front of the basket. I have not added any of it yet. Must admit I struggled with how to start that area ---1) rough in the flowers (which I think should be bigger & brighter) OR 2) paint the fernlike leaves first OR try to do them both at the same time???? Since many of the flowers are going to be hidden in the greenery, I started it this way. Don't know if it makes any sense or not. As you can see I also muddied up the color of the table, not quite green, not quite yellow. If I'm successful I'd like to make most of the flowers yellow, purple and pink with those little white flowers in between--with the light coming from the left. I note my shadows are pretty poor. Any suggestions would sure e helpful at this stage as I hope to be back to painting tomorrow. Also hope to glaze my pears. Thanks a bunch for looking. Barbara
Went for my first flying lesson this afternoon at the Tampa North flying school in a Cessna 172SP aircraft. Since it was my first lesson, and I was nothing more than a passenger, I took my camera along. This is a shot of my neighbourhood, and the lake behind my house ( you have seen a lot of pictures of it in these pages)
Let me tell you, the 40 minute flight was a thrill beyond words. Flying commercially , and in a jet, one hardly gets to look around. Everything happens so fast, and the tiny little porthole you have to look through does not give you the perspective.
This is a whole new ballgame, and worth every bit of effort , time and money. check out:
First lesson, made these prints on card as I had it handy. They have become very textured but not unpleasant. Of course I forgot to leave any white spaces for tomorrow's lesson, ah well, if needs be, will do some on watercolour paper.

I left this painting 4 days ago, so got back to it today. Had to take a break from it. I am through for now.
Just to the left of the frame a hillside rises up above the farmland, and I thought it would be a great place to shoot from. After hiking up the hillside I noticed a dog barking from where the houses are that you can see. I didn't pay any attention to it then because it was awefully far and there are lots dogs barking in the country. After my third shot or so I noticed her barking again and could see her running towards me just about where you can see at the end of the vineyard. A couple shots later, she'd closed the gap by half and was still on a full sprint, only now I could tell she was big and seemingly very angry.
I grabbed my camera and tripod and bolted toward the road on the right and to the safety of the car. Only because I was up on the hill I soon reached the top of a 10' retaining wall. I glanced back at the dog and it was about 30' away and closing way too fast, so I went for it. I managed to land on my feet if only for a moment and ended up sprawled on the ground. More importantly, my camera hit the dirt as well. Fortunately for both of us it was pretty soft and we both came away with only minor dings.
Also fortunately was that the jump was too high for the dog who began to circle back to how I got there. I made it to the safety of the car before she could get around to me, though closing the door with my tripod fully extended proved to be a challenge and if she wanted she could have taken my leg off. It was at that point I knew she was more interested in scaring the crap out of me than eating me for dinner.
A few minutes later the dog's owner came up the hill on horseback and gave me an earful about getting permission before getting on private property.
Lesson learned!
Note to self: When you order fish in Ecuador, odds are it will not be a filet, but rather the entire fish.
