This is Olive, the perfect name.  This is a commission for a woman who I met last summer.  When she sent me the photos of Olive I was so excited to paint her.  Olive has so much personality in her looks.

I am definitely on a tulip turquoise vase kick...I have an addictive personality especially when it comes to things that I like to paint.

I couldn't resist buying these red tulips when I was out running errands yesterday.  I love the turquoise vase with them.

I am enjoying starting from a black panel.  In some ways you have to work backwards when choosing your colours.

A friend gave me these flowers many months ago, today was the day of painting them.

The more I paint the more I love to paint.  In the last week I have completed 4 commissions, each one a complete joy to do.  It has been a year since I joined DPW, it was the best thing I did this year, it has motivated me to keep painting. I was very nervous to put myself out there,  I have  had nothing but great comments and support from customers and fellow artists.  In the last couple of months I can definitely see an improvement in my painting and my self confidence as an artist.

I'm in charge

Another commission, this is the first time I have painted a chocolate lab.  I am really pleased with the colours, now that I am just using the primaries to mix I am starting to really enjoy adding a hint of paint to make another shade that seems to work right into the existing colour.
