Teacup in Bloom
"Teacup in Bloom"
oil 8x8"
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.

"Sunflower"
"Sunflower"
oil 5x7
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
