Canoeing the Wisconsin River

My family and I went canoeing with some friends on the Wisconsin River a few weeks ago. I kept trying to capture a photo of our canoes every time we stopped because I thought it would make a great painting. I'm so happy with the way it turned out and treasure the fun memories we made that day.

Using artistic license, I kept the coolers out of the painting! :)

Abstract

Definitely my new favorite painting and pure pleasure to paint--my only wish is that I hadn't gone smaller at the last minute. I love the color harmony and playfulness of this painting. The sides painted, so it can be hung as is or framed. A stand alone piece, or perfect with a collection of pieces.

Allium Lusitanicum

These ornamental onions are one of my favorites, blooming here mid to late summer. One plant grows in a cluster of about 20 flowers and are a much smaller variety, a bit larger than a ping pong ball. The interesting thing about this plant is that it is a perennial instead of a bulb and flowers for much longer.

This is the fourth time I've painted alliums, but the first time I've done so with a brush.
