Finish What I Started

This year I will be finishing the paintings in this post as part of 52 Projects.  There, I said it.

Normally I don’t like people looking over my shoulder while I’m painting/creating.  I fear they’ll critique it before my full idea is out there in whatever media.  So, this is unlike me.  Here is my unfinished work…

 Coffee Paintings:  Still need shading and certain coffee drinks added to the cups. Plus a little steam coming off the top.

Tulips:  I started this to try oil painting.  Once the first coat dried (who knew the pigment red takes at least a day to dry), I was not inspired to finish.

Cathedral Ceiling:  I love perspective and have a small pencil drawing of this.  I obviously stopped after the first hour.  Too much measuring!

 Van Gogh Starry Night, Rachel’s version:  I wanted lights shining from the church.  In Van Gogh’s Starry Night he symbolically darkened the church windows.  Not much to go…probably a couple more hours.

Thanks for previewing these.  Watch for the finished pieces to come!
