When I started out painting I painted more still life's, but then eventually started to 

paint flowers and was hooked. Their kind of like little portraits each one with its own

personality and good looks. I will never fully comprehend Gods creation but truly appreciate 

all of it. Even down to one pebble of sand and He is able to count every one of them.

My son surprised me with these beautiful green eyed daisies 

that I have had on my mind for quite awhile wanting 

to paint, what a treat that was.

Thank you God for such a wonderful caring son!

They were painted from life which I love to do.

I have these violets on my window sill and as I looked over at

them they were soaking up the warm light, the purple violets were very happy

and I was also because these violets I have had for years would never bloom until I set

them in front of this window and the blooms keep coming, it's all about the light. 

I had changed the appearance of the wood frame and sill, I wanted 

the painting to have a more cottagey look, in which

I love.

Time is precious and it goes by so quickly. Sometimes I seem to waste

time by thinking too much and not doing. I know that when Christ is first

in my life it's always through Him that shows me His ways and not my

own ways and it always brings a peace. I usually talk to God as I paint, 

which is so comforting. I am here for such a short time, will I put my trust in the

world system that will never satisfy or will I put my trust in You Lord 

that created everything, I choose You Lord!

I had quite a few daisies in a vase but decided to paint just a section of them 

  as a study for a botanical painting.

So many flowers to choose from, each with their own charm.

God gives us so much beauty to absorb! 

What a wonderful God He is because of His Love for us!

I painted some of my favorite flowers, pansies, impatiens and lobelia.

I thought they looked good grouped together along with the old blue box.

When I first started this painting the background seemed to light so

I darkened it to bring out the pansies more, which helped a lot.

I love looking at botanical paintings, so I decided to paint the geraniums in

that style. Observing the leaves, flowers and stems. Doing more of

a study on the subject most backgrounds are usually a solid color and

value, mainly focusing on the plant itself.

Painting flowers makes me happy, so many to choose from.

Also painting the light makes me happy. What drew me to painting

was exactly that, the light. I studied mainly value for about a year and

found it to be extremely important. 

When visiting museums or galleries I always went to the paintings

that portrayed the light along with beautiful shadows.
