Tulip Painting, Floral Painting, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, 6x6" Oil on Canvas Panel

I found a video on Youtube of Nancy Medina, the flower queen, painting a tulip.  So, I decided to try painting along with the video.

Of course, her technique looks very effortless, which didn't happen with me.  Of course, her results are perfection, which didn't happen with me.  Of course, she has done it thousands of times..........ditto.

All in all, I think it was a fun experience and I am hoping I found a little something that I can continue to use.

We are so fortunate to be part of the first generation of artists with all the wonderful learning experiences the internet can  provide for us.

Have a great day!

Floral Still Life on Linen, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, "Mary's Vase" 9x12" Oil

I did this painting a few weeks ago with my paint group, Pieces of Eight.  Mary brought in a set up of fresh flowers and her favorite vase.

purchase here
225 + shipping

 I wanted to keep it free and loose, so I started painting with both and palette knife and a brush.  I was painting on a linen covered panel, and left much of the background unpainted for added texture and interest.

I have never seen a mum in this colors before, white petals and a purpley blue center.  This is where the knife action came in.

Thank you Mary, for bring these beautiful fresh flowers and thank you to all who are reading my blog today.

African Violets get a bad rap!  They are the "old lady flower", your grandmother's flower.  Maybe so, but I love the way they bloom all year long and the gorgeous range of colors.  What is more adorable than a mini planted in a tea cup?

Rose Painting, Floral Still Life, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting 8x8x1.5" Oil SOLD

Yes, yes, yes......I am still painting flowers.  I have been on quite a flower jag lately.

I was pleased with this one.

SOLD


Roses have always been difficult for me.  This time I tried to channel Elio.  I was determined not to describe each petal,  I did my best to remember the softness and translucency of a rose petal.  I wanted to pop the colors, but, not too much.  Finally, I made myself stop!

Yes, I like this one.....and I hope you do too.

Dogwood Painting, Flower Painting, Small Oil Painting, Daily Painting, 6x8 Oil painting on panel

YES!  I am still painting flowers and lovin' it.  This one gave me lots of trouble, but in the end, I think I pulled it off.  It is not my usual painting, so I would love to hear your input.

NFS

I call this my semi impressionist, semi abstracted piece.  I painted with  oil and added lots of medium to make the colors translucent.  Of course, I added all my favorite hues, whether I saw them or not.

detail

I decided to reuse a panel with a not so perfect painting on it, but instead of sanding it down, I allowed all the texture from the previous painting to show through.  I like this idea and have used it several times since.  This one was all about trial and error, but, in the end.....it made me feel good!

Flower Painting, Iris Painting, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, 6x8" on Canvas Panel

I spent most of the spring in the mountains of North Carolina, surrounded by flowers everywhere.  They must have the perfect environment for flowers, and I loved every minute of it.  This is one of the beautiful iris' I photographed during my stay.

purchase here

I had a difficult time getting this painting to the finishing point, but turns out, my real struggle was in trying to get a decent photograph of it.  I find that blues and greens tend me merge when photographed, especially blues.  I took many photos of this painting, under different conditions, but I believe many of the subtle color changes were lost.  Note to self:  Don't do blue and green paintings, and don't do very dark paintings.....also impossible (for me) to photograph well.

In any event, thanks for viewing my art today.

Daffodil Painting, Small Flower Painting, Daily Painting, 6x8" Oil

Another small flower painting.  I have really been inspired with flowers this spring.  I am experimenting with a few different techniques, trying to find and perfect m"my style".  My art seems to be evolving so quickly right now, and, I think it is from my studies with Elio Comacho.

purchase print here

 I struggled for several hours over this little 6x8" painting, but, in the end I was pleased with the results.  I wanted to stay very loose and added lots of medium to my paint.

Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, Fiddlehead Fern Painting, 11x14x1.5" Oil

A few posts back, I showed you a painting of fiddlehead ferns.  I decided to do a companion piece.  The original painting had a very dark, some would call it black, background, but on this one I decided to go light,

purchase here
190 + shipping

 The background is photographing a little orangey...it is really more of a nice yellow.  I wanted it to suggest the sunlight that was pouring in around the ferns.
