Kissing the Light

 More fun bright flowers. It's always interesting to see how easy it is to get onto a particular painting jag. This week it seems to be sunny flower bouquets. Why not I say. With winter days, and crazy weather, it makes me happy to paint flowers. I hope they make you happy to.

Pick of the Day

Showy flowers for a winter day. A fun painting for sure. Loved playing around with "swirly" colors and seeing what I could make of them. The main flower in this painting definitely has swirls!

Bouquet of Happiness

 With all the holiday hub bub going on, I
just had to get out to my studio to paint something free and a bit wild! I was so excited when I finished this latest piece. For me, it embodies what painting from your heart and soul is all about. This piece has a sense of freedom that I would like to have in every one of my paintings. But, oh well, that's not always possible. When it happens though, it sure is a fantastic feeling. Happy holidays one and all.

Fanciful Flowers

I felt like painting a big bouquet today. So much fun! I like this particular collection of flowers, fruit and vase. This combination, when completed on canvas, always makes me feel like there's some special event about to take place. I love painting various joyful still lifes. I always find the process quite fun and interesting. I enjoyed doing the collage, then painting over parts of it, thus creating wonderful textures.
It always amazes me how many ways there are to create a painting! Each day I learn something new.

Tropical Glow

After all the specific and exacting flower close-ups I've been creating over the past few months, I decided it was time to let loose and paint something liberating and unrestrained. I realized the instant I began this piece how much I miss the spontanaiety of painting like this. But, I still love the precision and definition of the more botanical flower paintings I usually paint in watercolor. How lucky am I to be an artist and get to choose whatever I feel like painting any time I want! Isn't that what being a painter is all about? What fun it always is to create something new and different.

Luminous One

 I decided it was time to paint more bright and cheery Sunflowers. Another flower that peps up these short winter days. I love the colors in this painting.
My husband, Glenn, said it looked like the flower was gazing into the sunset.
Maybe it is? Whatever you want it to be works for me as long as it brings warmth into your world.
