Floral Friday

I've been working on a lot of larger pieces lately and what I like working on that scale is that it loosens up my brushstrokes. It also has me standing more and for some reason this makes the paint flow for me. Sitting is for detail work.
Below was a sitter but I think I was able to loosen up my strokes because of the larger works I worked on before it. I'm hoping so anyway.

Next week I'll be in British Columbia, hopefully taking lots of photographs for landscapes and seascapes in the near future. I wish I had time to paint plein air but alas, it's only for a week.

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

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!
