I do like flowers, I take lots of pictures of flowers, I have pictures of flowers here and there in the house, but painting is a skill I will never know. I took the easy route to capture this flower, the camera. The flower is the same kind he is painting. I'd never have the patience to be a painter. We we head out to our usual spots looking for birds to photograph if they don't show up in 10 minutes, we are moving on.

I am trying to fire myself up to get into drawing and painting again. Here's a link to a person that does artistic sketching using an iPad app and a special pen. Give the link time to load as each of these is actually a video of the process he goes through. Just click on one to see the the work develop.

The +1 is working on a couple of commissions right now. One is a cat that belongs to a friend of mine and the other is a picture of the Last Supper that my hairdresser and his wife asked for. We attended their civil wedding in Old Town Alexandria last week. They were married in a Catholic cathedral in Lebanon last year.

Do you like flowers? Do you like paintings of flowers? Being honest, I hardly ever stop and study a flower painting. But I did accidentally come across how to paint one that I found very interesting to watch. You art lovers might enjoy it as well.

"The medium is casein. This is my first outing with casein, and I'm already madly in love with it. It is a water-based paint medium with working properties that resemble gouache, cel vinyl, and, in some respects, oil. I've used all of those latter paints quite a bit, but casein has qualities all its own. It can be used transparently, but it has great opacity when you need it, something often lacking in acrylic.
The paint has a delicious, unforgettable aroma that resembles the smell of cosmetics. The milk- based binder seals each layer enough so that they won't pick up with later application."
