May 11, 2010

I can’t seem to get daffodils out of my mind — their subtle coloring and their ruffled petals draws my attention this year. This painting was done combining a couple of my photographs and is the fifth one in this series. more »
Japanese Iris
April 26, 2010
These irises are smaller than the bearded irises, and the blossoms don’t last very long. What attracts me to these flowers is the color — a very intense purple.

Jonquils #4
April 10, 2010
Painting the flowers from my garden is almost a religious experience. Jonquils are a true sign of spring, along with the bright red tulips.

Velvety Tulips
March 14, 2010
Because of our unusually long and snowy winter, I have been anxious to paint a spring subject. These are some tulips and daffodils from my garden bouquet photographed a couple years ago. I was inspired by the gorgeous hues and non-formal arrangement of the flowers in a simple glass tumbler. They were photographed outside, and […] more »
