I was down in California and had a wonderful visit with

my family.

My brothers wife had a slew of teacups and gave them

to me. I use to paint teacups quite often, now that I have

a box full hopefully I will be painting more teacups.

I set this still life up in my studio and painted it 

from life.

Sunflowers are fun to paint and they have such a warm glow to them, 

the yellows in light and the oranges in shadow.

I kept everything else in a cooler tone because the

sunflower is so warm. Though some yellows can be on the cool side.

 This potted lobelia was out on my deck waiting to be painted. I was so

drawn how lush the purple and white lobelia

looked together.I love it when something catches your

eye immediately instead of searching and searching

for that perfect subject.

This lily was in a large bouquet of flowers, I was so surprised how large

this lily was when it had opened up. I had to paint it, stuck it

in a water glass and went for it.

Geraniums are always a joy to paint, their colors and forms are intriguing

to me. But I can say that about all flowers. How can we not paint them.

I am still working on paintings that will be published in a book and really enjoying

the process, a lot of research (that I love doing) that will compliment the story. 

While painting each piece, I feel like I am inside the painting living the story.
