And I’m back at this one I had to pause in this in order to get quite a few secret Christmas commissions painted (always a thrill to do them). And, well because I knew I had to go back into the background for the third time! Although this time I think it works. What do you think? #oilpainting #lilacs #thirdtimesacharm #contemporaryart #contemporaryrealism #wip #whitefloral #shideler #bloomingcolours https://www.instagram.com/p/BqkqEY_AAvh/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=l5gdohz7shc5

#wip and onto the leaf greens. I am using water mixable oils on this and am a bit frustrated with the texture of the yellow paint. Thinking I may go back to regular oils. Has anyone transitioned back and why I wonder.... #oilpainting #whitelilac #lilac #bloomingcolours #workinprogress #backatit #shideler https://www.instagram.com/p/BoKThSsBDfR/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1kxv770l4jhdh

#wip Starting to feel progress with this now. Honestly, sometimes I have to wonder what in the world was I thinking when I decided to paint this large. Still unnamed- any suggestions? #lilacpainting #oilpainting #oils #whitefloral #artistofinstagram #bloomingcolours #shideler #canadianartist #contemporaryart

#wip The lure of sunshine is keeping me out of my studio these days. If the sun is out, I need to be out too! Managed to get in some painting time. Love the way the softness of this floral is developing. #lilac #oilpainting #artistsoninstagram #canadianartist #springtime #bloomingcolours #shideler #contemporaryart https://www.instagram.com/p/BmJfp9HBb-S/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1fm3m8rd41297

#wip So slow I go. Finally getting a chance to get back to the studio. I find it amazing how many shades are in #whiteflowers #oilpainting #white #shideler #canadianartist #artistsoninstagram #contemporaryart #bloomingcolours #lilac #springtime

#wip Oh so slow I go. Been a very busy week so I am happy to be back in the studio. Amazes me how many shades make up #white #whiteflowers #shideler #oilpainting #springtime #bloomingcolours #canadianartist #artistsoninstagram #contemporaryart

September Sun Happy to reach this point with my sunflowers. This painting really made me think a lot...about perspective and the power of yellow. Thinking it is done, but I will study it for a few days to be sure. This is a large #oilpainting that I have been working on forever - while also working on a number of others. Difficult to see the colours as the photo was taken inside. Will try again on the first overcast day. #happinessis #sunflowerpainting #newbrunswickartist #canadianartists🇨🇦 #yellowfloral #bloomingcolours #contemporaryart #helenshideler #shideler #contemporaryrealism #artcollector https://www.instagram.com/p/CGP6rjjndFe/?igshid=d3ujbhj91old

#workinprogress There have been multiple working sessions on this #lilac painting since my last post. I am loving the work...it just feels slow to develop. I think that may be because of the size of it. It has the feeling I was hoping to capture! #ontheeasel #wip #lilacs #flowerart #flowersinart #bloomingcolours #helenshideler #scentofspring https://www.instagram.com/p/B9tktZFn5rf/?igshid=1y5vy2kpwgg1

#workinprogress Painting is starting to develop. The green areas are larger and develop a bit quicker I think. I think I will alternate from flowers one day and leaves the next. Just because. Those little buds...omigoodness take so long to paint!!! #ontheeasel #wip #oiloveracrylic #lilacs #lilac #flowerart #flowersinart #bloomingcolours #helenshideler #canadianartist https://www.instagram.com/p/B9aIuk0nlEZ/?igshid=18qigqc9n0umc

#workinprogress Sometimes I forget just how long lilacs take to paint. I guess that’s why I only paint them once a year or so. #wip #ontheeasel #whatwasithinking #lilacs #lilac #helenshideler #bloomingcolours #canadianartist #contemporaryart #contemporaryrealist https://www.instagram.com/p/B9JxdjVn8Je/?igshid=1qg3kkevkv8o3

#wip Painting starting to develop nicely. Looks good from across the studio - funny how that works. I do believe this is going to take a substantial amount of time to complete.

Colours taking shape #wip Sometimes I get distracted by what I am going to paint next and actually start another painting or two 😊 #staytuned #watercolor #watercolour #distracted #petunia #artofinstagram #bloomingcolours

The next adventure begins I seem to be on a roll with poured paintings. Have two more sketched out. I have not named this deep magenta hollyhock yet - any suggestions? #artistsofinstagram #canadiancreatives #wip #watercolor #watercolour #pouredpainting #bloomingcolours #shideler
