Pale Rose (181)

This painting is a part of a darker series I've been doing this Fall. As the days are so dark, despite all the lights being on, I find it's hard not to notice all the shadows. So I'm incorporating them instead. Pale Rose (181) has two subjects that I love; pottery and flowers. 


These two subjects are also particularly difficult for me to paint. Standing together they also create another issue, solid versus delicate. I am always swinging back and forth on creating something subtle and gauzy and trying to create dimension. I think in the end, I accomplished what I set out for with this piece. I hope you like it too.

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!  

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

Hydrangeas

It's that time of year! Hydrangeas have bloomed. Sunflowers have bloomed. If you want them all year round, here's the best way to keep them! All are still available!
