Trumpet Vine for Marcia (Painting as of January 11, 2023)



Here is my current project as  of January 11th.  I lightened the background and now the color is close to what I want, the dusky pink of an adobe wall.  It was time to do this so there would be more color contrast with the blossoms.  I did like the bright color, however inaccurate, but I think a hint of the bright red-orange will still peek through.  After I repainted the background, I started to work on the blossoms, using  white and pale yellow for highlights, and a yellow-orange for shadows.  Now I feel like I am getting somewhere. . .To be continued. . . .
