Painting a Floor Cloth

I've started another Garden Palace floor cloth.

This one is for the Rose Garden Parlor, or as DH might say, "the front room of the shack".

FYI:  The size is 58" by 91.5"

At this point, I was painting and adding layers of background colors as that was all I had to start with.

Will the real inspiration please step forward.

As you know,  in my head I work about 6 and a half projects ahead of the one at hand. 

Therefore, I had plenty of inspiration to sort through to get to the one and only that I hoped would please me the most.

Sometimes it is a hard thing to do.

Of course, I always knew it would be flowers.

Of course, I wanted it to be roses.

But of course, I do not know how to paint roses. 

Since this Garden Palace is a real life fantasy daydream, I can paint fantasy flowers. 

So that's it.

My favorite pictures are the ones with all the paint pots and brushes on the work in progress.

After a quick white charcoal sketch, I worked up and down the row of fantasy flowers adding layers of color.

Then I started adding layers of fun stuff.

Each time I stopped for lunch, I posted on my Instagram.

But the thing I did that was new for me was to also share on Facebook.

I fear that is the reason I have neglected sharing here; however, I only started last Wednesday.

This is where I am right now. 

I don't consider this side finished but I'm ready to start the garden row down the other side. 

I will be sharing.

Count on it. 

And thank you all so much for all of your comments and good thoughts. 

I appreciate you!
