Roadside Floral, Small Oil Painting, Daily Painting, 9x12" Oil on Canvas

When I go on my daily walk, up and down the country roads, I marvel at the gorgeous wildflowers and weeds (?) I find.  It was on these walks, that I discovered the lovely daylilies I planted in Florida, grow wild in the mountains.

So that is the inspiration for this painting, as I gathered these blooms from the ditches and easements along the country roads.

I plopped them in a favorite piece of pottery and started painting.

This piece is 9x12x.75"

Thanks for reading my blog today.

Thistle Painting, Small Oil Painting, Daily Painting, SOLD

This small oil painting is a tribute to thistles. The lowly thistle, thought to be a weed, in my eyes, a brilliant floral beauty.

SOLD

 I photographed this thistle while taking a summer walk in the valley. Armed with my image, I painted it in oil, with lots of texture to suggest the spikey flower. Some of the texture comes from my use of the palette knife, and some of it was applied direct to the canvas. The sides of the canvas are finished, allowing it to be hung with or without a frame.

This is a picture of me, doing my favorite thing!

I love the bits of bright colors in purples, blues and greens.

Flower photos for you to use

I stumbled across this old post, and thought I would show it again, as it seems very cheerful, during these trying times.  Enjoy!

Last month we were enjoying our condo in North Carolina, trying to get it ready for visits from family and friends.  It is so beautiful here during at least three of the four seasons.  I have not been here in winter and cannot speak to that, although I imagine the snow covered mountains would be a sight to behold.

On this trip, there are flowers blooming everywhere.  Each morning, I set out for a walk, with my trusty camera in hand.  Come along with me.......

A garden of hosta

Calla Lily

Rose abound!

Begonia

A cute little playhouse, or maybe a gardening shed?

Sit for a moment and enjoy the scenery.

Mountains surround the area,

Who knew day lilies grown wild?

I love purple flowers.  Do you know their name?

My goal is to interpret many of these scenes in oil in the coming months
