I have always admired other painters versions of radishes. I always wanted to try a painting of these colorful veggies, and here it is!

Bouquet

This was my first attempt at roses. I thought it would be hard to paint, but I really tried to keep them simplified and I think it worked. Helps when you don't pressure yourself, I just thought I would try them and wouldn't worry about the outcome. Happy Mother's Day to all!

Spring is Here

The lowly dandelion comes to life, still life that is. The bouquet of choice for toddlers to give to moms, but they really are a versatile plant, although pesty! I used to hunt the tender new greens with my father when I was little, and we would make salad with them, full of iron... good for you. My sister, the plant lover, has made dandelion wine, (I have never tasted it, so can't vouch), and she has roasted the roots and made coffee!! How's that for this pesky little ..... dare I say....weed! They don't last more that a few hours in a vase, (in case you had ideas for a centerpiece)!

I don't know what it is, but the combination of the white cloth, cherries and reflection in this made it very enjoyable to paint. Simple pleasures!

I have to say that this was a fun fabric to do, I think I am going to search for more of these fun patterns.

I have been wanting to paint this striped pitcher for a while, and it goes so well with these sunflowers. I may have to do it again. Another sunny flower painting in the cold, warms up the day!

Coffee Break

This is a variation of mediums. I have a little show this weekend and wanted to not worry about drying time, so I switched to acrylics. I was a little worried about using them as it has been a while, but I have enjoyed it, especially the quick drying time. I guess each medium has good points.

Not only is it a challenge to finish a painting and be happy with it, taking the photograph and having the picture do the painting justice can be frustrating. Lately, I think my paintings are much better in real life. I think I could use a little photo workshop! This is definitely better in real life!
