Hydrangeas

Went to a baby shower recently and brought home some blue hydrangeas and pink tulips. I've been enjoying having fresh flowers in the house! Such inspiration for painting. :) Love the glow of this top one and also the whimsy and fun of the one on stripes.

Flowers Galore!

Well, I think I've gotten the florals out of my system--for now! There are about six total and all have been added to my brand new website. Check it out if you haven't yet.

I was feeling the round vase on these two and just love the freshness of the arrangements.

Peonies

Happy New Year! I felt like celebrating the end of a tough year painting something I love--flowers. They are painted from the same bouquet of peonies, but two different angles. The brighter is also painted on a black gessoed panel, much looser. Can't decide which I like better, how about you?

Decorative Kale

Thought it was such a great idea to put this kale from my garden in a vase!

Farmer's Market Flowers

​Was having lunch at one of my favorite restaurants on the square after visiting the farmer's market. The outdoor tables had the most adorable little arrangements. Thought this one was so summery set against the blue tables.

The Bluest

Absolutely love blue flowers, especially these delphiniums that bloom large and strong throughout the entire summer.

Purple & Coral

A friend I taught with asked me to do a commissioned painting for her newly remodeled bathroom. She provided a color palette and wanted flowers in a glass vase. I couldn't pass up another opportunity to paint glass and felt spring with this one! :)

Fresh Flowers

Flowers and vases are something that I like to come back to. Painting them well is a challenge, but also completely loose and enjoyable. This one has a more romantic quality.

Roses & Pomegranate

I thought pomegranate season was over, so was thrilled to find dwarf sized ones at the store this week. Also purchased some mini roses in an antique pink that I thought would look beautiful in my new geometric vase. Some adorable "little" subjects to paint.

Small Bouquet

I often find myself painting flowers on days when the temperatures go below zero. :)
