"Geraniums Standing"


"Geraniums Standing"
oil, 8x10"


 My geraniums are still standing, come the first frost 
and I will have to say goodbye to them until next year.
I taught a workshop using these geraniums, my students 
were so eager to learn and we had so much fun doing so.
Every painting is always a new learning process. I tell 
my students that I can teach you technique but I can
never teach you creativity, that belongs to you.

"Ripen Pears"


"Ripen Pears"
oil, 8x10"
Sold


I received a wonderful gift basket with a lot of good stuff in it. I didn't realize for quite awhile that there were pears hiding underneath, when I finally found them they were really ripe. Each had wonderful markings and colors, I had to paint them. They are Royal Riviera Pears from Harry & David out of Oregon. They have a wonderful and interesting story.

"Vinca in White"


"Vinca in White"

 The full name for these flowers are Vinca rosea Periwinkle. 
I usually put them in pots on my deck and sometimes I mix them
with other flowers in pots to make a bouquet of color.
