I am going strong with the sunflower theme. The more I paint them the more I love painting them. There are so many varieties and everywhere I go I seem to see them, from the markets to the farms, even on the side of the road...so uplifting.

Sunflowers have got to be the most feel good flowers, until I started painting them I had no idea how many varieties there are.

Every time I get the photos for a new commission sent to me it is like opening a gift, the wheels start turning on how I will approach the painting, especially when it is such a sweet face.

There should be a tulip celebration day, especially the soft pink ones that look so amazing against the perfectly green leaves.

The first tulips of the season, my very favourite flower.  Every spring I wait a little impatiently for my favourite farm Vertgen to show up at the Saturday market with their truck full to the brim with freshly picked tulips.

So I brought out the big paintbrushes for this big canvas.  After painting quite a few 6 x 6 inch landscapes it was really helpful to set up this painting. I used an indian yellow for the underpainting which just warmed everything up against all the blue.

I have been noticing the sky and the amazing cloud formations lately. So today was cloud painting day. I started with a pink underpainting. Another favourite colour lately is radian violet, it adds a little more interest to the sky.

Ok, living on Vancouver Island makes it so easy to find painting subjects. Lately it has to be cedar trees, especially when they are gently swaying over the water.

I have really been enjoying painting these landscapes, there is something so familiar about cedar trees. I kept to a limited palette, makes things so much simpler.

A LITTLE TENDERNESS

There is something so expressive about daffodils, they just seem to say here I am in all my glorious yellow.  Some people aren't especially moved by floral paintings, for me it is the complete opposite.  Every spring when the gardens start filling up I am overwhelmed by the beauty that I get never ending inspiration from.

What can I say, this might be turning into a little chickadee painting addiction.  They are just a symbol of everything sweet and so innocent.

Nothing like a beautiful sunny day to paint a chickadee.
