"Cobalt in Bloom"

This is a commission.  The requests were: cobalt color, not too detailed, white background, flowers (didn't matter which kind,) large in scale, emerald green.  These colors are supposed to go with the house decor of this client.  It worked out well, and the client is happy!  That's always the best.
Wayne helped me with this painting.  I let him do some of the underpainting, and so did Miranda.  So we did yellow underpainting, and then a bluish light white sky with yellow in it on top. 




I really loved these at this phase, but I needed to add some more to the left to balance the painting.





I have to say, that it looks better in person.  The colors are more lively, and there are more layers.  I lightened up the painting and worked to cover up some of the buds so it wasn't so overwhelming.  The owner loves it, so I'm so pleased!
