Iris 19-16 - Spring Bloom

Okay, I think this is one of my faves so far.

It's okay if you disagree (my husband also disagrees), but for me, this one is closest to my taste. Luckily, I always do 17 of everything. One for everyone. Okay, maybe a slight exaggeration but we will see how long this Spring Bloom Compilation strings along...

(Note: for some reason the background looks darker in this photo. While trying to keep the shine away from camera lens ((photo taken while wet)), it seems to appear darker. Top photo shows truer colour reference.)

Audiobooks and Art

I know many artists like to listen to music while they paint but I like to listen to audiobooks. I borrow from the library and its usually great but today I was three quarters through when it expired on me (my fault). When I went back in to borrow it, I had to place a hold. So I'll have to wait a week to find out what happened. Blue Hydrangea 096 oil on canvas board 8" by 8" Click to Buy Whenever I look at a painting I can always remember what book I was listening to. In some ways I self title them that way. This one will always be split into two but I got it finished anyway. Not to advertise but I realize if I don't say it's a cliff hanger - Sara Gruen - At the Water's Edge (interrupted- don't tell me how it ends) Sara Gruen - Water For Elephants

Painted Daisies

Last Monday I started this painting (I finished it Friday) I had intended to do a serious still life with dark shadows and depth but the daisies were too happy. It became another painting about colour. I guess I've been in a good mood because they've all turned out like it this week. Perhaps, not a bad thing.

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!
