This old window caught my attention. I am attracted to

vintage, old worn out patina and this window had it all!

I also liked the outside window looking in and another 

window inside the interior looking out.

The house dates back to the early 1900's.

Love the light casting wonderful shadows on the porch.

I love to search out the light not just on this earth

but most of all through Christ.

Henry basking in the strawberry patch without a care in the

world. He seems to be my model here and there, very photogenic and

seems to love his pictures to be taken.

I love going to the nursery and looking at all the beautiful 

flowers. I stroll the nursery until I find an area that would 

make a good painting and take a photo of it. 

This painting is one of them.

During the summer I planted these lobelias and took some pictures

knowing that in winter months they would be gone. I prefer painting 

from life but annuals don't stay year round. Lobelias are one of 

my favorite flowers.

  I have fun most of the time setting up an arrangement
of things. I started with the main object which are the flowers,
then I searched through my shelves where I keep a lot of my stuff
to paint to see if I can find something to go with the flowers.
 When I couldn't find anything there, I searched around the
house looking and looking, that won't work, no that won't
work either, then it clicked when I spotted this little perfume bottle
with it's little top, that worked!

My paintings are mostly done in tones, I strive mainly on
values first and keeping my colors also in check with values.
I always have to be excited about my subject, if I'm not which
happens sometimes, that painting goes no where
and is quite frustrating. When I get the right lighting on my
 subject that's really exciting to me!
