Simple Gift

The impetus for this painting came from a photo that I transformed by my imagination and my need to produce a vivid, expressive interpretation all my own.

As an under painting, the surface was textured with the remaining acrylic paints left from each day's painting session.  Some of the colors may show through adding more interest. 

White Flowers on a Red Cloth

This is a redo of a painting I posted earlier this month, White Flowers on a Red Plate.  I wasn't that satisfied with it and neither were my artist friends so back to the studio and this is the result.  Hope you like it better too.

White Flowers on a Red Plate

Oh, it was so good to be back in the studio finally!  I just wanted to play so what better way than to paint some expressive flowers.  I hope to be where I belong, in the studio, on a much more regular basis now that my hubby has recovered from yet another surgery and the holiday madness is pretty much over.

I am working still on getting even more free with the brush strokes and building layers and textures. It's great to play in the paint.

Thanks for looking.

White Flowers against Red

Another imaginative interpretation of a pot of white daisies.

Three Apples and White Flowers

Again, another experiment in my effort to go more abstracted and stylized. We'll see where it goes.  Thanks for looking.

White Flowers with Red Apples

Another of my fun and imaginative flower bouquets.  Thanks for looking.

Green Bottle with Flowers

This painting is an expressive rendering of a simple flower arrangement.  It is painted on a 300 lb. watercolor paper, matted, backed and ready for framing in an 8x10 frame of your choice. Thanks for looking. 

 

A Black Vase with Gardenias

This painting is from a photo taken over a decade ago of some gardenias from our yard.  Still trying to loosen up and this painting is getting there.  Thanks for looking.
