Zinnias

Clipped a bunch of zinnias to make little arrangements for painting. Such fun--great colors!

Garden Gifts

Both of the items in this painting were gifts! My mom gave the flower bouquet from one of her large hydrangea plants, which look even more beautiful as they've started to dry out. The pumpkins were clipped from our next-door neighbors vine. They recently moved, so it's bittersweet!

This paintings puts me in a TINY bit of an autumn mood, but just a bit!

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.

Lily of the Valley

One of the first spring flowers growing out in our yard. My girlfriend actually let me cut two hunks from her clematis vine a few years ago. I was so pleasantly surprised to discover the Lily of the Valley included in both parts that I planted. Double bonus!

A happy little spring arrangement.

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. :)

Wanted to keep this happy arrangement loose and full of light.

Flowers in White Vase

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

White Peonies & Satsuma

Went to Whole Foods this past week with my sister and mom. The flower bouquets were outstanding, especially the peonies, and thought they'd be perfect for painting. I also came across this delicious looking fruit with leaves. It looked like a clementine, but a bit larger (not to mention sweet, tender, and just as delicious to eat). It was another fruit considered to be a member of the mandarin family called a satsuma. Thought I'd paint them separately, but am so happy that I put them together.

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!

Dahlia Bouquet

Am feeling so honored to have been contacted by a local home renovation business. They'd like to display some of my pieces in their showroom! The space looks really nice and I am so excited to see some of my paintings hanging there.

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. :)
