POSITIVE OUTLOOK

A daffodil day, the sun is shining and the birds are singing, I can feel those daffodils getting ready to bloom. When I finished this painting it reminded me a little bit of a water colour.

LATE OCTOBER

6 x 6 inch
oil on 1/8th inch canvas panel
SOLD

I borrowed this image from my good friend Corinne, hard to believe that this is a late October vision. I started the painting with a dark blue under colour, the greens just popped as did the single flower, I am always a little surprised at what you can pack onto a 6 x 6 inch canvas.

GERALD'S FLOWERS

8 x 8 inch
oil on 1/8th inch premium canvas panel
SOLD

I took several pictures of my friends garden, there were so many different greens and the pink flowers just stood out so beautifully. I started with a dark under painting using many layers to make the colours pop.

SERENITY

6 x 6 inch
oil on 1/8th inch premium canvas panel
$60.00

I have painted these tulips several times,I love how they are spilling over the vase to put on such a show.  I started with Payne grey for the underpainting,  There is such an immediate pow when you start painting on a dark background, the direction you take is completely different.

WALLPAPER

8 X 8 inch
oil on 1/8th inch premium canvas board
$85.00

I used an orange under painting for this panel, as I was painting it just started to remind me of wallpaper, very busy wallpaper.

I used many small quick strokes and just kept layering the colour.
