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!

Winter Surprise

I was spurred on to create this Calla Lily painting by the little bee feasting on the pollen on the stamen of the flower. It was such a wonderful sight to see so early in winter. Another painting in which I restricted my use of color, to see what kind of unusual blends and patterns I could obtain. Once again, it's endless. There's a world filled with artistic wonders out there with which to experiment. Each day something new and exciting grabs me!

Heart Flying High

 I love this color combination. It seems so rich and deep. For me, the red paint and metallic gold ink create vibrancy and harmony. I find the heart shape with the red dots contained within, complimentary to one another. This heart feels like it's taking off into the heavens. I never know what's going to evolve when creating hearts, but I always love the surprise at the end. Hope you do too....

Sunflower Surprise

http://www.dailypaintworks.com/artists/sunshine-taylor-2674
This has to be one of the most exciting paintings I've ever created. It was based on a variety of hand-made papers being glued to the canvas, with the grid painting glazed on top. Next was the joy ride---applying the delicate lines of the sunflower with acrylic inks and a nib pen, along with a variety of other pointy tools. This process transformed the combined layers into a transparent wonderland. Happy, bright, and welcoming. Wouldn't this be a show stopper and fun conversation piece to grace your wall?

Evening Symphony

Another blustery, stormy, Mendocino Coast Day. The energy of the sea is astounding. The clouds were swooping through the sky like trapeze artists!
I love how exhilarating the north coast sea can be. I love how enlivened it makes me feel. This painting, gracing your wall,  can bring that energy your way too...

Geraniums

Another painting inspired while traveling in Spain. The old, beautiful, white painted houses, with all the signs of aging on the exterior, make a painter's heart sing! And then there's the splash of ruby red Geraniums gracing the window, with stark shadows sweeping below. What could possibly be more beautiful, and make one happier than a sight like this?
