I'm gonna be doing four paintings as Christmas gifts tomorrow today. The biggest is 18x36, for my mother.
She send me this
And here's the crappy photomanipulation I did to try and get a more organized composition for it. I took out all the elements I didn't care about to clean up the picture, then made the flowers the area of highest contrast.
I think it's gonna be a pain but I'll try to get some pictures of the finished painting. I don't like painting from photos at all, so we'll see how it goes!!
