Irises and snowballs

Cut flowers from my garden. The snowballs have now finished for another year, the irises have maybe a week left. I'm trying to get as many florals (from the garden) painted as I can. I know in January they will bring me much cheer : )

p.s. the fabric they're sitting on used to be a dress I bought years ago at Value Village. It was too big for me - but it was a hand-sewn garment embroidered with silver thread and I couldn't pass it by. My Mom made a few pillows out of it and I used some scraps for a crazy quilt.

Country house in spring - SOLD

This is the completed painting from last Friday. I made a number of value changes as well as brought the front lawn off the panel. Cropped it. Stronger, I think.

Slote Road

Sunday post: Sundays I take the day off and post a work previously done, from my website.

I painted Slote Road a few years back on a late autumn day. The colours of the landscape were gorgeous: crimsons, golds and deep green. The clouds were rushing through the sky, creating a very romantic - bordering on stormy - sky. Weather like that always gives me a bit of a rush...

Fall jewel

Sunday post from my website: Fall Jewel

Since I painted the winter landscape yesterday, I thought I'd show this one today. Painted in a similarly abstract fashion, I think it conveys the rich colours and textures a good October day brings.
