The top image is a second still life underpainting of white flowers in a can using a mixture of manganese blue, indian yellow and marble dust/linseed oil.  The flower and leaves are a bit too symmetrical and this will change and the painting evolves.   The second image is of yellow flowers in a similar can.  This has two layers on it.  It’s two tight right now and I’ll need to loosen it up and lose the drawing a bit before moving on.  The last image is a layer on an earlier still life that I sanded down to bring the range of values closer.  I want to extand the value scale and color in coming layers.
