I took the photo of these beautiful sunflowers in the summer, they have definitely become a go to for my painting. I tried to be really loose and not focus too too much on all the details. I added the hints of purple at the end.

As I was finishing my painting I noticed I just automatically chose more fall colours. It is so interesting how the seasons affect me, one slight shift in the weather and the colours...all good to be in the creative process.

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.

There is something so sweet about daisies, every year under our Japanese maple this group of Shasta daisies appears, perfect white petals and a deep yellow center...simplicity at it's best.

The peonies are from a very dear friend and the anemones are from our Saturday market. They both had beautiful pinks and whites with hints of gold so they needed to be painted. They are larger than life in this painting, I really enjoyed the whole process.

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.

This is another overpainted canvas, there is so much more depth when you are working on something that from the start already has so much going on.  It is a little more difficult when you first start mapping out your painting but then things just start coming together.

The magnolias have just started blooming in our little town. Yesterday I hopped in the car with my camera for a full on search of the most perfectly bloomed magnolia.

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.
