Setting sun flower

Inspired by a photo of a flower. I loved the colors and boldness of it as well as the challenge it presented. It was labour intensive but a lot of fun, I felt like I almost developed a relationship with it, even fighting it with blending the paints together. In the end I fell that we ended it on a good note, both happy and exhausted.

Hubis

My interpretation on the hubis design I saw on a plate. I loved the element of simplicity and clean crisp white on green. 2x3 ft.

Poppies



Poppies in the breeze. A simple splash of color inspired by nothing in particular, just a fleeting idea that made it out. 16"x20".

Sunset shadows



An orange sunset on the lake. I love to try different styles of painting and different blends of colors. This one was done on special request for Dave's office.

Honeycomb






I like the mirror quality of this painting. It is also for the Urban-1 collection.(link on rt side bar) I am really having fun with tone on tone painting. This one was also inspired by a fabric swatch. 16"x20".

Dot, twig, dot.

Dave named these ones and his description says it all. The one thing is that I wish is that I hadn't applied the glaze finish till after photographing them, the flash was really bright. These are at Urban-1 as well. 8"x10" each.

Blossom

A simple flower.
I am loving doing this type of art, it works with my schedule. I can walk away when a babe needs me and come back and pick up where I left off....and know where I left off. When the paintings are more detailed it is a lot harder to leave and return. 10"x12".

White bloom



I haven't yet decided if this painting is finished. I don't know if I want to put a stem on it or a vase or just leave it. I like the simplicity of it the way it is. The flower and leaves are done in oil and give a certain vibrancy that I just cannot seem to get out of acrylic paints. 16"x20".

purple rock n' roll

I really wasn't sure about this one, the purple, the black...not like anything I've ever done before. However once in Urban-1 and placed in a purple and black room setting, it looks great. I should do a post on that, the whole complimentary thing between the art and furniture really works. 16"x20".
