Camellias

This little painting is my abstracted idea of one of the most beautiful flowers to me.  I never had any luck in growing them but maybe painting them will make up for that lack.  Painting mixed media has been very relaxing for me, not easy, but fun.  Sometimes, at night, I have a hard time falling asleep because my brain is whirling with possibilities and I can't wait until I am back in my tiny studio.

Thanks for looking.

A Black Jug with Flowers, II

You might be wondering "OK, where is the first version of this painting?"  It is one of several larger ones that I have yet to photograph which will be soon, I hope.

Sunflower Trio

Over a decade ago, I had a prolific flower bed or at least the sunflowers were plentiful.  I did several still life set-ups and photographed them for future use.  Several of them have already been painted and posted and now it is this one's turn.  The painting has several layers of paint as I experimented with a few backdrops and finally settled on this rather traditional one which has some similarity to the original set-up.  The painting has been varnished for further enhancement and protection.

I have a few larger pieces that I still need to photo so I can post them soon.  Thanks for looking and for being patient as I work my way through the various paintings.

Flowers at the Lake

This painting is a larger piece.  Thanks for looking.

Tulips and Field

It has been several days since I have posted on my blog and I apologize.  Its this time of year and something had to give but I had painted a bit ahead.

The landscape just kind of happened as I painted the still life. This acrylic is 8x8 inches, painted on canvas board.  The price is $40.00 plus $10.00 shipping and handling.  It is varnished.

Tulips against Yellow

I am working on having my paintings more abstract with looser brush strokes.  It is all part of how I have wanted to develop and change.  I've not painted with acrylic for many years and am having to learn which techniques work best for me. I'm finding it hard to shift gears so if anyone has suggestions, I'd appreciate your sharing.

This painting has been varnished, matted and is ready for framing in an 10 x 8 inch frame.
