| 90 + 6.50 in USA It's hard not to smile when you see a bunch of sunflowers, either in the fields or sitting on a table. |

Have a great weekend and thank you for viewing and commenting on my blog. By the way...please pin this!

I wanted to practice painting flowers, and found a reference in my files.

Trying hard to put into practice the techniques Elio Camacho tries to push into my head. Brushwork, color relations, composition, the bride! Not sure if I was successful, but, there is always tomorrow! Thanks for viewing my blog today.

Landscape with Flowers, Cone flower painting, daily painting, small oil painting, 9x12" Oil SOLD
I was going through my reference photo files, looking for inspiration, when I found an image from several years ago. It's funny how I can be totally unimpressed with an image, and then one day, WOW! I just have to paint it.
Another priority.....not overworking the piece. I felt happy when I finished, usually a good sign
A week later, I am still happy with it....an even better sign! I hope you like it too.
Thanks for following my blog.

Small Sunflower Painting, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, 6x8" Oil
Sunflowers and farmhouses, the perfect pairing!
It is a cold, gray day, here in the mountains, and sunflowers are the perfect way to brighten things up.
Both sunflowers and farmhouses, are not uncommon, here in the mountains. It's hard not to smile when I look at sunflowers.
Yesterday, we drove over the mountains to Gatlinburg. I am happy to report that things are looking up there. Spring is taking over, renewal is everywhere. Yes, there are still signs of the devastating fires from last fall, but the mood is upbeat and the tourists are there.
Have a wonderful day!

Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, Colorado Wildflowers, Flower Painting, 8x10x1.5" Oil, Colorado Kansas Line SOLD
Years ago, I lived in both Colorado and Kansas, but I don't remember these wildflowers that I found growing everywhere, when I visited there last year.

They must have been there, but a visit is different than a young woman, raising a family and working full time.
Sorry for the glare on this image.

I added great swirls of texture to the canvas before painting, trying to capture the feel of flowers swaying in the breeze.
Can you tell I was facing east when I took this shot? In Colorado (at least where I was) when you face west you see the Rockies, when you face east, you see the prairie.
Thanks for reading my blog today.....and keep painting!!

Daily Painting, Floral, "Red Hibiscus" 6x8" SOLD
Hibiscus is one of my favorite flowers. They are very tropical, hula girls always have them behind their ears, and they come in a variety of colors and sizes.
This is a common type that I found planted behind the Eau Gallie Library. I went there early one morning on a photo shoot, looking for stray pelicans and egrets that usually hand around the fishing pier behind the library. No birds in sight.....also no fishermen. I was just about to drive away when I noticed the flowers, turned to the morning light.
So, it was not a wasted trip after all. It is always a wonderful feeling to be out in nature in the morning stillness.
I am trying to get my art to Times Square...you can help. Just click here and click on the "collect" button at the top of the page!
Happy Weekend!

A Year of Art, Daily Paintings, Small Oil Paintings
I was looking back through my sales for the end of the year, and thought I would post some original paintings that have sold.
It is easy to spot a trend with sales of prints, but not so much for originals.

Sunflower still life, 14x18" Oil Painting, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting
I have retuned home from another exciting workshop with Elio Camacho. I went to work right away, trying to imprint his wisdom on my brain.
I worked hard on this one, trying to retain the bold brushwork and saturated color that makes his technique special. I think it is a good start for me, but I have lots of area for improvement.
Practice makes perfect. I am pretty sure he would tell me to make the flower on the table look less like a flower and more like paint.
To be continued.......

Daily Painting, Fiddlehead Fern Painting, Small OIl Painting, 11x14 Oil NFS
This small oil painting came about because of a trip I took to North Carolina in the spring. I live in Florida, so we don't get a lot of spring flowers, and when I saw this bed of ferns coming to life, I had to paint them.
I was surprised how quickly they grew, with obvious growth from day to day.
I decided to use a dark background to really highlight the ferns and keep my palette restricted to greens, blues and purples. I have been pleased with the results of this painting, which is a departure from my usual style. Blues are very difficult to photograph accurately and although the background color appears to be a deep blue, the actual color is close to a black,
This piece is available at the link above as an original, or here as a giclee' canvas print in the size of your choice.
Thanks for viewing my blog today. I hope you take time every day, to smell the roses.

Floral Landscape, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting "Summer Wildflowers", 6x8" Oil on Panel
One of my guilty pleasures, when I am in the Blue Ridge Mountains, is my morning walk, which inspired this painting.
Of course, I also admire the songbirds and gorgeous, towering, hardwood trees. It's not really a guilty pleasure, as it is hard work walking 4 miles when at least half of it is up the side of a mountain.

| purchase here You would have to live a summer or two in Florida, to understand how much I enjoy walking in mid 70's temps in the middle of summer. |
