Irresistible iris

My friend Agnes brings flowers from her garden to the Old school house art centre every Wednesday. The iris's were extra large and just so full of life.  I so enjoyed painting them...such movement.

This painting seems more abstract than my usual, it is also darker...different but I like how it turned out.

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.

I find the gessobord so much easier to apply paint to, the paint goes on like butter.  I know that I will paint this vase many times..I  love the colour and the shape.

Leigh's roses

I have a fear of painting glass...I actually start sweating when I attempt it.  My friend Leigh gave me these beautiful roses awhile ago, I snapped some photos but until now I haven't had the nerve to try painting them.  I actually really enjoyed painting the vase.  My mantra for the day...nothing ventured nothing gained.

Blissful

This was fun to do, I just kept adding in blocks of colour to make everything more vibrant.

DONATED

So I truly do have an addiction to tulips...buying them and painting them, can't have them in my yard though because they are also a big favourite of the deer.  As I have said many times they are such a simple flower but so perfect and  there is nothing better than a vase full of gently opened tulips and their dancing leaves...perfection.
