Afternoon Sun

This one took a few tries. 
Some come to be, easier than others. Not this one.
I was able to get the drawing easily and after that it was a tug-of-war.

oil on canvas


The greens were either too green or too dark. 
The yellows were too yellow or too dark.
The highlights were too much or not enough.
Even the background was the wrong tone.



But I think I got it in the end.

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!
