Striving for Your Goals -Blue Delphiniums & Peony's

Getting more done on my current floral painting. I can't express how great it is to be able to work on bigger pieces comfortably in my new studio.

In this piece I am focusing on striving for goals and new beginnings. Using the blue delphinium flower and pale pink peony as elements to represent these. Seeing these flowers will be a daily reminder supporting your thoughts and goals.In researching the delphinium I came across an article with these meanings I just love:

Reaching for your goals and striving achieve it all

Expanding your options and attracting new opportunities

Openness to new emotions and feelings, in a romantic sense

Enjoying the lighter side of life, even when troubles get you down.

July  birthday flower

Celebrating practically anything positive.

Protection against dangers, specifically if your out and about with scorpions according to ancient lore's. :D

 

Finding these well as some of these.Encouraging goals, open heart and dolphin( due to shape of flower)

 

I added a layer of "leaves", laying out some peony's I cut already. Arranging book pages for the delphiniums. Watercolor pencils to Sketch them.

Up date: I have been working on little delphinium flowers and at times it is maddening! I am not use to what it takes to complete large pieces. So I have paused some days to start other backgrounds. But I can now say I am making real progress and happy with where it is going! Plan is to post the finished piece this week!!
Fingers crossed for me!
