Roses on Stripes

My mom sent me flowers the other day. So sweet, and double bonus! Not only do we get to enjoy their beauty, I also get to paint them.

Daffodil Dreamin'

​We have had unseasonably warm weather here in Southern Wisconsin. The mid-60s in February, which as far as I can remember, is unheard of! Received some beautiful tulip and daffodil bulbs and completed the spring dream.

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.

Yes, I'm one of those saps that gets excited about Valentine's Day--all that pink and red together...!

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?

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.

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!

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.

Waiting for Flowers

You may have heard me mention that I have a glass addiction. Found this beautiful vase online and had to have it. It's been sitting on my kitchen table just waiting for flowers. The sun was shining and lit the entire thing up; it was beautiful.

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.

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.

Vase at Sardine

This was an adorable little vase on the table at one of my favorite restaurants. The lighting was not the best, but the shape and colors on the vase were of interest to me. Also, I just loved the casual and petite flowers that whispered early fall.
