LAVENDER FIELDS FOREVER



LAVENDER FIELDS FOREVER(5x7)

  This is a small landscape of the lavender fields in Provence. The beauty of this region is hard to describe or express with paint or camera. I tried!

DAFFODIL BLUES

DAFFODIL BLUES

 I seem to be obsessed with daffodils these past few weeks. Something about them seems so cheerful---they are calling my name to paint them.

GROUP PORTRAIT

GROUP PORTRAIT

   I love terra cotta pots; I would even paint them without flowers in them. This time I didn't have to. There were beautiful flowers available.

Dance of Three

Dance of Three (6x6)

  This is a still life where I used some transparent oil colors as an underpainting. I love the effect of the colors showing through the top layer of paint. It is always a surprise how it turns out.

Garden View

This is a painting of a beautiful garden in springtime (8x10). Everything seems to be blooming at once.I love all of the colors; one of my favorite things to paint.

WELL DRESSED TULIPS

  I picked these tulips up at the grocery store one morning when I was looking for something to paint.The red string was the perfect accessory to my favorite flowers.(watercolor 15x20)

DAFFODILS

   These daffodils can't help but to cheer us up in these winter months. There have been a few already blooming here in the south. These were a pleasure to paint. I love all the varieties of this flower. Welcome spring!

ISLAND HOUSE

ISLAND HOUSE 11x14

 This photo shows an island house surrounded by beauty but seemingly isolated. It makes one ask questions about who lives there.

WATER LILY

Water Lily (8x8)

 Waterlilies make good painting subjects. The center of interest for the composition is pretty obvious and the shapes and reflections make a good natural composition. Longwood Gardens has a wonderful waterlily garden with every variety you can imagine

APPLES AND SILVER

 
  I enjoy the challenge of painting objects reflected in shiny surfaces. It adds a lot of interest to a painting.
  This painting is 12x12 inches.
