The first tulips of the season, my very favourite flower.  Every spring I wait a little impatiently for my favourite farm Vertgen to show up at the Saturday market with their truck full to the brim with freshly picked tulips.

A LITTLE TENDERNESS

on 1/8th inch thick gesso board
SOLD

There is something so expressive about daffodils, they just seem to say here I am in all my glorious yellow.  Some people aren't especially moved by floral paintings, for me it is the complete opposite.  Every spring when the gardens start filling up I am overwhelmed by the beauty that I get never ending inspiration from.

BUNCH OF BEAUTY

on 1/8th inch thick gesso board
SOLD

My first painting since I arrived home. This beautiful bouquet is from Vertgen farms on Vancouver Island. I have to say they grow some of the most breath taking flowers that I have ever seen. I am very fortunate that I can just go up the road to the Saturday morning market where they have a stand.

Another day of daisy painting, this one is actually quite abstract.  I started this painting by blocking in transparent very lightly and then just kept adding little bits of colour.
