Tulips are such an ever-changing flower once placed in a vase, the transformation every day gives you another painting subject...definitely my favourite flower.

There is nothing I enjoy more than sitting out on the deck enjoying my garden.  The rhododendrons are in full bloom and they are spectacular.

WORTH THE WAIT

I adore anemones, always one of the last flowers to bloom in the garden but so worth the wait.

Looking out at the pouring rain I definitely needed to post this painting. Spring, lively, beautiful tulips to take your mind off a grey day.

Another painting that I did about 4 years ago, I liked the colours but not the composition so I sketched over with the daffodils and made a new paining.  I love all the extra interest because of the original painting peeking though in spots. This is definitely a great way to recycle your canvas.

SUMMER STATEMENT

Oh the wonderful, free and positive energy of the sunflower. Definitely one of my favourites to paint.

This was my third attempt at a painting today, the first two were wiped, sometimes it is best. I find painting flowers therapeutic so for my third I had to paint flowers. 

PINK

Everything colourful today, I used every pink that I own for the coneflowers.  Sometimes it is fun to just be really bold when you paint something...no toning down.

LUMINOUSLY LOVELY

SOLD

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.

Today was another floral painting day, there is still so much snow outside that I needed to keep with the positive move toward spring painting. 

DESTINATION BUTTERFLY

oil on 1/8th inch gesso board
SOLD

 I don't use much red  in my paintings, but I decided to change up my go to colour choices a little.  I like the outcome, this painting turned out so vibrant even more so in real life. 

DAZZLING IN PINK

These flowers in the back yard of  friends of mine, I loved how wild they looked. We were there for dinner last September and they were still dazzling.  

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.

EVERYTHING WONDERFUL

8 x 8 inches
oil on 1/8th inch premium canvas board
SOLD

I started this painting with a rust underpainting, I love the warmth that it created as I added colour to the canvas.  It was so nice to get back to painting after not doing any for two weeks.

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.

SIMPLE PLEASURES

I started this painting with a transparent red canvas, I like how you can see glimpses of the colour under the blues and golds.  

FLOWERS FROM MY GARDEN

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

A gloomy day here so I just had to paint flowers.  I never thought of putting a rhodo in a flower arrangement until I went to London to visit my daughter, we were out for dinner and there was a huge vase full of them...beautiful.

DECK DAY

oil on 1/8th inch gesso board
SOLD

These flowers are from my garden, the deck chair is a favourite knitting spot in the summer, the vase is from a dear friend...perfect combination for a painting.

DAFFODIL FASHION

This is my version of abstract daffodil.  I love how the flowers pop against the red.
