Flowers on silk flutters

This time (first time in this year) I will post all my silk works ( I think that some will duplicate with those which I already posted, or not). I want to have them in one place and show you my growing in this area. In that case I add photos by date from first ones to today works. Even now I am sketching few daylilies and one iris.
Maybe people already sick about that I am all the time post my silk works and note that I can sell them. So now mention just ones, now. I will write here which ones I have and which ones was sold and who buy it. All the moneys get for my silk works goes to special place where hold for collect bigger count of money and then will place an order of one of nursery. So hope this year we will place one order too.
And her I start my silk work exhibition. As I mention Exhibition, my first paintings on silk was good enough for exhibition. So I paint 6 artworks, teacher frame them and take to youth exhibition in museum.
 This is my very first try to paint on silk. In this photo you see table from school. It is on frames, because only with frames I can dye silk colors on silk. Sketch I take from internet. This was first and the last time when I use someone sketch.
 This is not the second one, but the last of those 6 which teacher exposit in museum.
And here is all three on wall in museum. Nice to see at my artworks with frames and in special place. Then I feel really honored.
This is something newer while looking in those first. From now I show all my silk works where I work by myself, without help or even advices. Just do what I think is good. This feature give me more unique works and free work with silk.

Here is something unusual. In special kit for silk painting, which I got from great my friend was special salt for silk. I wonder how to use it, so paint background and split that salt on it. What a magic happens. With salt I created unique background. But this is first and the last work with salt. I think that I found some other ways to create unique works. (This I gift for my friend) 


 These two is out of the same sketch, but color variation manes it look very unusual. Just form the same. Now both was in States.
 I love this one, because I try to mix two colors on one bloom without using contour for different colors. Look amazing for me. Now in States too.
Well this one is something what worth to say more than just one line. This one I painted as a gift for one great friend, who I can mention like my mentor. William Marchant few years in the row gave me some his left seeds of amazing lines of seedlings. And last year he send amazing seedlings from Rose F. Kennedy. So I decided to make something back to him. I think that William now enjoy this work of his seedling on silk from me.
 And here is my first order for Debbie Friedlander. She asked to paint this one as a gift for her husband. I am sad and a little disappointed of myself, that this look a little different than real Chief Weeder.
 And this is the most warmest gift which I painted. This is for my best friend, great mentor - Claudia Conway. This is her seedling which she very proud. I am also love it very much. So I painted it on silk and gift it.
 These are just few from other order which place great person in daylily world - Mick Morry. He asked to paint 6 daylilies which photos he send to me. All money for them he send directly to Floyd Cove Nursery where Claudia start to place an order. These are first works where I add leaves. Nice looking. Hope Mick and Morry family likes it.
 This is Racing The Moon. Daylily which I dream about and hope that when I sell this can order that daylily. Can't remember if this one is sold, but Racing them Moon I have in my garden now. I can say that in real that variety looks better than in my silk work. And one of the Prism. But for that we have not enough money. Maybe next time.
 This is amazing order from Floyd Cove Nursery owners. They asked to paint these two for extra money for order. I done Staying Alive better than Born to be Wild. But from replay from them I see them both hanging in living room. So that is great honor for small artist to have his paintings in famous persons home.
 This is great art work (photo by C.Conway) which I paint from Floyd Cove introduction to raise some money for order. And I am pleased that this one was sold in lilyauction for my great friend, who work with teeth daylilies - John Kulpa.




This is how it looks when I got inspiration. In one week I done 4 great paintings. Just love them all and hope that these will bring me some money for 2014 order of daylilies.
And this is iris on silk. After long break without painting them on silk I come back and paint one. Just after few minutes when I post it in few Facebook groups people start to comments and say how great it looks. Then I feel really honored to show it and done it so well. So hope that I might can work with irises the same like with daylilies...
 
This is not all my silk works, just a majority. All newer ones I try to post in the end with new comments. Only this can be sure that all my silk works was in one place.
Thanks for looking and good luck.
