After the Long Weekend

I started this one yesterday. It's a composition that I've worked with several times, each time taking different elements of the still life and giving it a new life. I think the colours here are more vibrant. I suppose it looks and feels like a celebration. Perhaps it was the influence of so many fireworks blasting off over the weekend.

With all my canvases, I now paint the sides at the same time (except bottom, I do that 2 days later) so that they match exactly. It just continues as the painting. 


Kendra (my wonderful daughter) helped me with the canvas name. 
She is always so much better at those things than me.

Spring Rhythm

This is another one of my faves! It's a softer Spring piece but there is something almost musical about the flow throughout. The yellow flowers were trimmed from my rosebush out in the front yard. The rest of the arrangement came from Creekview Floral, who do amazing bouquets and arrangements.  "Spring Rhythm" 12 x 16 oil on canvas This one needs a new home!  

Color!

Did someone say they wanted a painting with color? HOT Pink! available as original or as a Print!  

Iris (19-14)

Another iris for the collection. This is a part of the spring collection that I am working on. I kept the background simple so the focus was on the main attraction, the bloom. The purple is a deep variation of colour and the top of the bloom is a gauzy white.  This artwork could work in any room. It's small size allows for it to be a part of a larger compilation or in smaller spaces such as hallways, kitchen, or bathrooms. Iris (19-14) 6" by 6" oil on canvas board Click to buy with Paypal
