Citrus (20-59)

I managed to get this one to look pretty in the process. 
This hardly happens. So I thought that I would put it up here. 



It starts out pretty simple. Just a few lines.





I started with the grapefruit because they were something new.
 I wasn't sure about their colours at first.


This (above) is how I ended the painting session. I did have to go in and finish up a few things. The shadows and I had left a dark line near lemon. 


This final painting is in soft warm light. The background looks more cream then blue.


This mat behind the painting shows you how much blue in is painting.

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
