Bright One

A glorious sunny, bright day, gave me a good excuse to paint another Calla Lily and to give it the name "Bright One." Indeed it was! I found this to be a perfect opportunity to use the sunshiney colors in the background, that were shining through the translucent lily. Any opportunity to paint another Calla Lily with some new idea on how to do so, I'll take!

Purple Passion Poppy

This painting is part of a three part series of using an identical flower as the subject, with different background colors and treatments. It was an experiment to see how many interesting types of different backgrounds I could come up with. And yes, they are all quite varied. It's really fun to create a series, and to see where you can go with it. I really got into the flow of things with this one. So, here is my first offering of one of my favorite flowers to paint. I love poppy time!

Storm Front

 Being in daily contact with the ocean, rocks, and sky, make this the most magical place to live. What an incredible blessing it is to get to spend so many years enjoying life here on the Mendocino Coast. The ever-changing colors of the sea and sky are glorious. From turquoise to cobalt and everything in between.
The daily transitions taking place always inspire me to delve into my painting
supplies. I hope this piece evokes the feeling of Mother Nature's incredible energy.

Glow of Day

Stunning lilies surround me. They're popping up everywhere --- and in all colors. The white ones always speak to me. They're so pure and lovely.
I hope this lily painting conveys the brilliance of summer to you too.

Calla Magic

This was such a super fun painting to make. I loved creating the exacting botanical part along with a background that's totally abstract! I painted 3 different layers of background, and worked with a variety of materials, one on top of the other, insuring that some part of each layer would "surface." And, it worked! Therein lies the reason for
the title "Calla Magic!" This is certainly one of my favorites. I hope you like it too!

Calla Royale

This is probably my favorite Calla Lily painting I've done this year. I just got it back from the Members Juried "Garden Theme" Show at the Mendocino Art Center. Prior to that, I had the painting hanging in our home. I decided it was time to put it out to the world on Daily Paintworks. There are many things about this piece I'd like to duplicate. I think the composition is different and fun, and I love the texture in the background inks. Those inks are so much fun to play with. Several of them even sparkle! I hope this painting brings you joy, too.

Summer Delight

Another fine summer morning here in Caspar. The white iris are blooming and boy oh boy does that ever make my heart sing, given the penchant I have for ALL white flowers. I don't know what it is about them that just makes me want to run to my studio and grab onto paper and paintbrush. I love the strong contrast in this particular painting between the flower and the ink background. The flower looks to me like it should be wearing a wedding dress, since it's definitely the bride!
