"Three Red Geraniums"


"Three Red Geraniums"
oil, 8x10"



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.

"Finishing Touches/Violets"


"Finishing Touches/Violets"
oil, 6x6"
Sold


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 Hydragea"


"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.
