"One Red Geranium"


"One Red Geranium"
oil, 8x10"


Painted from life. I liked the simplicity of this piece
after setting it up.
My geraniums are still alive but not looking that
great. I was able to paint this geranium
about a month ago.

"Aloha Purple Sky in a Basket"


"Aloha Purple Sky in a Basket"
oil, 8x8"


I love the name of these flowers, the scientific name is Calibrachoa.
I bought these beautiful flowers at the nursery, set them in my basket 
and painted them from life. Just loved how the flowers 
fell into place without any fuss.

"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.

"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.
