Here are my latest creations

The first painting is based on a model I found on pinterest

Vintage 1950s style gouache painting by ArtY: a man in a black suit carrying a woman in a pink and black dress up a staircase with a red banister and wrought iron railing

The flower is from a painting called Lily in Shadow made by Mark Adams in 1982. What interests me the most here are the soft shades of blue and purple which make the flower look so delicate.

Work in progress: first layers of a calla lily painting by ArtY on the studio table, surrounded by acrylic paint tubes, brushes and palette
Calla lily painting in progress by ArtY, with petal colour tests in soft blues and purples at the top of the sketchbook page
Finished calla lily study by ArtY after Mark Adams, in soft purple and cream tones, with colour swatches above
