DRESSED FOR SUCCESS

I used a more subtle palette than usual so I decided to use a red underpainting.  I like the end result soft with a little bit of a bite.

Spring is definitely around the corner, there are robins hanging out in our yard and I even see some buds on the trees...can't wait.  I just had to add  flowers to this robin painting to give it the full spring effect.

LUMINOUSLY LOVELY

I really enjoyed painting these daffodils, It is not often that I use this much white in a painting but I love how the flowers look so bright and cheerful. I used just a handful of colours for my palette, I am really pleased with the outcome.

DAYDREAMING OF SUMMER

6 x 6 inch
oil on 1/8th inch gesso board
SOLD

There are a few reminders of warm weather ahead starting to pop up, the sky is blue and the clouds are extra fluffy. I just had to paint flowers. These beauties are from Nanoose Edibles a wonderful farm where I go to get my produce.  When summer comes there is a huge row of sunflowers running all along one side of the property...magnificent.

NOBLE HEART

This painting has a mauve under painting, more tricky than using burnt umber.  The colours look completely different, but it is a good challenge.

Flower connoisseur

I live in deer country, walking down the street, in my yard...everywhere, they have had many meals in my garden.  No matter how annoying that is I just love them.  My friend sent me some photos of the little darlings so here is my very first deer painting.
