Need some bruggy help

K, I don't know how to ask this, LOL.
Would someone be kind enough to let me use some pictures of Brugs in a few paintings I'm doing for the Florala swap?
I'll give the photographer full credit as the photographer.

I'm not selling the paintings - I'm trading them for plants.. if that matters. You could be famous.. LOL!

Or I can paint one 9x12 picture in return for each person that I use their photos. (it wont be right now because I have to get a job and buy more paper/paints!)
I'll put your names in my trade tracker so I can keep up with you.
Just post them here if you can. I'd use my own pictures, but I don't have any! (that and I'm not a good photographer!) LOL

Thanks guys!

you may use this if you like...

Thank you so much CT! It's beautiful. What do you want in return?

nothing....happy new year



carol

Thank you!
If I post something in the future you might like to have just send me an email!

Here's a yellow one for you to use. Enjoy!
Gretchen

I'd love to see a picture of the painting if you have the means to get one when its finished :) If not, I understand...

Thank you! As soon as I get them painted I'll email or post the pictures here. What do you want in return?

Here's the rough sketch Gretchen, look like your brug?

Oh wow crim, this will be great to get more pictures of brugs out. There are so many beautiful ones.

I sure hope so, I need quite a few! Imma ask Ginger_H if I can use some of her pictures too.
Gotta go dig out my paints, LOL!
When I get this down I can create my own paintings without using photographs. I might try that now. LOL This is fun!
It's neat to use DGers actual plants though- gives it a more homey feel to me. :-D

Cool! Oh I don't want anything other than to hopefully see a picture posted of the finished product :)

Awesome- I'll try and finish at least one tonight- maybe two. I'll post it as soon as it dries! lol Thank you!

Cool! You're quite welcome :)
Gretchen

Here's 'AfterGlow' Crimson...I'm with Gretchen, just to see the finished picture is all that I would like in return :) I'll post more...would you rather have close ups or 2 ft. away shots? let me know


Have fun!

Closeups are great- thats a Beautiful brug! Maybe one that's 2 ft away? Thankies thankies!!!!

k lol

still looking....Adora

Adora is gorgeous! I'm going to set up my table now- start painting some of these sketches. Thank you so much guys!!!

You are simply adorable crimson...and you are quite welcome! Hope that's far enough to get the sketch a bit better for ya

LOL! thanks brug. :-D Here's one I've started painting from CT's photograph. Colors arent "right" but I couldnt look at the computer and paint- I paint in the kitchen and the comps in mums room.

You have a delicate touch, crimsontsavo, very nice, feminine....

Thank you Sherry. :-) Can you tell it's a brug? LOL

Looks beautiful and definately looks like a brug

Thanks! I was scared it looked like a Hibiscus! LOL
K I'm off ta bed! The paint fumes have gotten to me, haha.

I have some you could use if you would just paint one for me too, and send it to me.

Butterfly

Double White

Whiskers

You guys are great! I think I'll paint all the ones posted so far. I'll probably do different colors of each plant that way I'll have more of each without being exactly the same paintings. When I get everything painted I'll email those that want a painting in return. :-) That double white picture is beautiful!

Here is ForeverMorr. Feel free to use it. Nothing needed in return for any pictures I might put up here for you.

Not named yet....

One more, from Arky...

If you can remove my hand from this one.....it is the first double pink in the US. Named.....Monika.

Brugie I just got chills! Wow!!!!!

Sherrry, that's beautiful too!

I LOVE ForeverMorr omgosh!

Thanks Julie. The color in that picture is due to the sunset. It is normally more of a deep pink color.

She's a beaut! What a beautiful flower!

OMG!!!!!!!! I must have forevermorr and "not named yet" that would make a good name, LOL! When you get tonns of cuttings off it may I please be on the list for a small one??
I'm so painting those two! LOL
Sherry, Arky is beautiful and will be painted too!

ForeverMorr has been released and there should be a lot of people growing it next year, so if something happens that I can't get a cutting for you, I'm sure others will have it available. As for the orange one, it probably won't be released until fall or maybe even the next year, if at all. I haven't seen it perform yet. Just one flush of blooms late in the fall. It needs more time to prove itself. I'm glad you like them. Have fun painting.

Ohhh Imma be stalking everyone with brugs next year!

Here are a couple from me. Don't need anything in return but would like to see all of your paintings posted!!
