Flowers in White Vase

Felt like it had been a bit since I'd painted (or seen!) flowers. These just make me happy.

Roses, Yarrow & Bittersweet

I know the roses are the star of this painting, but I am a bittersweet lover and it is what drew me to this arrangement. My mom had a selection of flowers in vases and she generously allowed me to use them. My first time painting roses too, and I'm thrilled!

Round Bouquet

My favorite thing lately has been just following my own intuition and instincts so much more, even when selecting what I'm going to paint. I look through my recent photos or what I have around the house, grab whatever excites me at that moment, and get right to work on it. It's amazing, but I think I've learned that it's just not that serious. It's fun, carefree, and intuitive once you tap into that. There will be some good ones, some amazing ones, and some so-so ones, even some junk... It's all about just being on the journey and I'm definitely enjoying that.

Cosmos & Zinnias

I may have been a bit of a scavenger in searching for these flowers. We've had frost, and am happy to say, clipped these beauties and brought them in before any damage was done. There were a lot of buds left, but their days were numbered and here they will be forever immortalized. :)
