I have daffodils on the brain, they are everywhere that I go...not a bad thing.

I was driving by a neighbours a couple of days ago and spotted some beautiful daffodils, I jumped out of the car snapped a few pictures.  Today it is grey and raining so I decided it was the perfect time to paint them.

I could get used to painting character homes, there is something about their charm.  This house is in Victoria a block from Cook Street village, we always walk by when we are heading to grab a coffee or walking to the water front.

I have been on a flower kick lately, I think it is because I can see the colour of spring.  We were in Victoria on Tuesday and the cherry blossoms art out...so beautiful.  With this painting I took a little bit of a departure from my usual style...kind of abstract in areas.

The paint on this painting looks really smooth, you can't see as much brush work as usual, the reason for this is because I am using an Ampersand gessobord for the first time. They are very smooth so working my brush will take a little trial and error.  I really like how this painting turned out though.

I am really enjoying painting on a black panel  At first I had a lot of trouble figuring how to start the paintings, now I look forward to it.

I am definitely on a role with flowers.  I can't seem to get enough of painting them.  Because I paint so loosely and quickly(alla prima), they are the perfect study.  I have been playing around with colour and think I have turned a little corner,  usually I go to colours that are my old faithfuls, but I have been stepping just a little outside the box and am really enjoying myself.   Nothing ventured nothing gained shall be my mantra for the next little while.

I am really enjoying painting flowers lately, this one seems a little abstract, layering more colour and adding tiny hints of something extra just seem to give a little more zing.

Another floral, I had taken a picture of these flowers in the fall, it was still really warm then and they were still going strong.

On my living room mantel I have 4 empty frames set up and when I finish a painting it goes into one of the frames so I can get the full impact.  I am particularly pleased with this painting, I like that every corner of the canvas is full of colour and movement, I think the pattern would make a great duvet cover.  The more I paint the more I look forward to painting.
