Hi all, New one! Thanks Tony for finding better nirds and suggesting the scale and placement of them! So happy I talked to you about it when I came up! 36x40 yikes biggest one in terms of wide. Have done 32x44. I blocked in head, background, hair, song birds, and part of dress. I started on white artfix 64c linen panel on dibond by Raymar and color spotted areas to get values and color temp right. This was transferred from my charcoal sight sized drawing. I am not blocking in bottom yet because I just added gold leaf and copper leaf to create movement for blurred red flowers shapes and then glazing red over it and motion blur them out into environment. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/smartmarx/original/2X/c/c258456c92c0149fc314f8e5c3d042dca1784de1.jpeg) ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/smartmarx/original/2X/a/a86395af41c3977e44c70e5fceed95d01dbe2f00.jpeg) ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/smartmarx/original/2X/b/b67943462873fa177110c82e251657a848aca96c.jpeg) ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/smartmarx/original/2X/6/6363a2a37c909666c98a3f7c6c9a1645e54f0383.jpeg) ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/smartmarx/original/2X/2/2fc0ac71f49902275320bbf3e7882408734cdf1d.jpeg) ---

Wow! Is going to look great, Nanci!! I love the size, and the blurred flowers really add to the movement and mood of the painting. Can’t wait to see it finished! ---
