Saturday Painting Palooza Vol.351

Hello again painting fans.

This week I'll be continuing with the new southern Arizona scene. The photo that I am using is seen directly below. I'll be using my usual acrylic paints on an 8x8 inch gallery wrap canvas.

When last seen, the painting appeared as it does in the photo directly below.

Since that time I have continued to work on the painting.

I have continued to refine the 3 bands to the rear as well as the base blue layer of the organ cactus itself. The colors are now more apparent and more solid. I don't want this one to have too hard an edge and will begin details and some softening for next week.

The current state of the painting is seen in the photo directly below.

That's about it for now. Next week I'll have more progress to show you. See you then. As always, feel free to add photos of your own work in the comments section below.
