Of course, sometimes there's that sense of loss when you aren't working on it any more too!<br /><br />Anyway, those stamens really pop as the focal point and the surrounding colors simply enhance them!Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09224954501156534934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6260435224884335630.post-12325870749672933702009-04-20T19:33:00.000-04:002009-04-20T19:33:00.000-04:00Hi Laure, thank you for your comments on my blog, ...Hi Laure, thank you for your comments on my blog, you are so supportive. :-)<br /><br />Hi Karie-Ann (aka PencilPortraits), thanks for stopping by. Now I know from your work that you have the proverbial patience of a saint...takes one to know one perhaps? What's not to like about detail? :-)<br /><br />Hi Christine, thank you for you lovely comment.

I tend to love detail. :-) Yet I must say that the Neptune's Leaves piece wasn't very complex, there were just a lot of inches to colour! The Swiss Chard was detailed and complex but it didn't take long at all. That piece had a wonderful effortless flow to it. The peony was all about capturing the gorgeous stamens and so the time it took to get those right was worth it. <br /><br />I came up with a couple of ideas this afternoon for at least two small pieces and after that I think I shall do another Colourfix piece. <br /><br />Good luck with your printing adventure. I shall post about my progress once I have visited the printing company.Teresa Mallenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17978596700598817430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6260435224884335630.post-39663993989464850812009-04-18T21:21:00.000-04:002009-04-18T21:21:00.000-04:00The finished piece is very striking Teresa.

So is the next piece going to be less complex as well as smaller too?<br /><br />Good luck with the prints, I'm looking at something similar for myself in the next week or so. I just need time to do it!Jeanette Jobsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08935974758134419990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6260435224884335630.post-59658962666873643672009-04-18T19:44:00.000-04:002009-04-18T19:44:00.000-04:00Thank you Beth! When I said "printer", I actually ...Thank you Beth! When I said "printer", I actually meant someone other than me - someone who runs a professional printing company. :-) I am going to do giclee reproductions. I know that some artists buy huge, expensive printers to do this themselves but for now I would rather not have to deal with calibrating my monitor, not to mention learning all the technical stuff in obtaining quality prints. Maybe someday...Considering how frustrated I get with our current scanners and printers, it is probably best this way!<br /><br />So, I am sorry that I don't have any good tips or info on buying a printer. Good luck!<br /><br />Hi Ann, thanks for stopping by and thank you for your kind words.<br /><br />Hi CountryDreaming. I should clarify that the 'white' petals have lots of colour in them, it is just that on a computer screen these colours can come across as as a monotone of blue, or gray, at least in a small image. I spent way to much time putting yellows, shades of coral, oranges, violet, teal, aqua and blue colours in the 'white' to be satisfied with what I see on the screen. Arrrrgh...At least the peony looks more colourful if you click on it to see the larger version.<br /><br />I am delighted that you like Neptune's Leaves. I finally managed to get a quality image of it and the colours are now reading much better on screen. Now I just have to do the same for the peony before I add it to my website. I hope you are having a great weekend too!Teresa Mallenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17978596700598817430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6260435224884335630.post-74081326002432238592009-04-18T17:48:00.000-04:002009-04-18T17:48:00.000-04:00As for the peony, I actually like the fact that th...As for the peony, I actually like the fact that the white is reading rather blue. My favorite from the three pieces in your blog entry remains "Neptune's Leaves." Can't wait to see what you'll come up with next!
