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 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

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

Almost gave a studio again So wonderful to have a dedicated work space once again. It has been so long, literally since the end of January. So from this angel it is done....not the view behind me. But that is ok as it will be ready this wee 🤞 #fingerscrossed #studio #bloomingcolours #myhappyplace #helenshideler https://www.instagram.com/p/B1Uc8TGHLWO/?igshid=79z638457hl7

#wip And once again painted myself into a corner - this time with the white background paint. So, this will have to dry for a bit before I can go back in and complete it. Hmmm, guess I will be starting something new. #pileated #ontheeasel #contemporarypainting #corvid #oiloveracrylic #canadianartist #artistsoninstagram #shideler #bloomingcolours https://www.instagram.com/p/Byxzv6qHmUx/?igshid=1x0c62ofno90c

Her Mama’s Favourite I had the opportunity to paint this sweet #africanviolet for a friend. This plant was started from a clipping off her mother’s plant. It is a prolific bloomer and brings her great joy daily. I love this story and loved being able to paint it to forever remind her of her mother! #contemporarypainting #acrylicpainting #purplefloralinspiration #shideler #bloomingcolours #artistsoninstagram #sweetmemories https://www.instagram.com/p/Bys3jkVHJuh/?igshid=s8z6yfsf4bo7
