These geraniums were in my yard and the sun was

shinning bright that day casting this wonderful shadow.

I set this arrangement up and painted from life. These are cutting I

took from my potted geraniums that were in my yard. Soon they

will be gone at the first frost, here in WA state they don't make

it through the cold weather. Sad to see them go.

Set this still life up and painted from life, the paint

brush was an after thought.

I liked the idea of not finishing it and adding the

the brush and paint tube.

"The Blue Hydrangea"

oil, 8x8

When visiting my brother and his wife in May, there in their beautiful

backyard I spotted this beautiful blue hydrangea. The sun

was casting this deep green shadow and the blue of this

flower was so vibrant.

I took a photo of it and painted it in my studio when we got home. I also have blue

hydrangeas in my yard and after looking at my hydrangeas and

then my painting, I realized the flower wasn't blue enough and

made it bluer. They are very blue.
