Summer Blend



Summer flowers and picnics go hand in hand.
Painting this brought such joy, and an overwhelming sense of good-fortune and gratitude, for the amazing bounty which surrounds my life. Once again, given how much I love white flowers, I made this one the center piece of my painting. I like how the combination of items, and colors, create a summery feeling. It's just what I was hoping for! Harmony all around....

Power Flower

   
A fine Spring day led me to a garden over grown with baby blue Forget-Me-Nots, along with several types of smallish yellow, and largish white daisy like blooms.
Along with a chunk of cheese and a glass of soda, I created a still life before placing my paintbrush in hand. There was so much Spring energy emanating from the garden, that to mimic that feeling and embellish the painting, I decided to first collage onto my painting surface a variety of hand made papers on which to paint. Those alluring, sparklingbackground effects that I absolutely love, are exactly what I was hoping to create. So here is the result.....
