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.

Power Flower



I'm so thrilled with the gorgeous colors found throughout my flower garden. I had to pick a bouquet for a still life. The glowing, sunny day, certainly cooperated in assisting me with this painting. There's nothing like fabulous flowers to make one's heart sing!

Calla Party


The Calla's have gone completely wild here in Caspar. And so have all the other flowers. Late Spring rains bring bountiful flowers. I just can't get enough of the playfulness the calla's display. They always look like they're having a great time hanging out with one another. What gorgeous, stately, one-of-a-kind flower "volunteers." They will always be my favorites. Painting them both in watercolor and acrylic are equally fun. I think I get a lot more wild myself when painting them in acrylic. Might as well let loose and have a great time with it all!
