Oriental Poppies, acrylic on canvas, 16x20
These poppies opened just yesterday. I hadn't brought a large enough canvas so I had to wait till this morning to paint them. They proved to be the most popular painting of the ones I brought to the causeway today. I know it will find a good home soon.
Everything is awakening in the community garden. Every morning there are many new flowers opened which weren't there the day before. There are just so many things to paint...I am like a kid in the candy store. Imagine if I could just paint all day. I think I would turn out three a day

Spring Joy, acrylic, 16x20
I worked in the rain all day. I just couldn`t get the purple the way I wanted it. They look alright though..
I've really enjoyed doing my recent garden series. I didn't plan for them to turn out the way they did. I wanted a painterly grown up type of painting but they are whimsical like seed packet pictures from the olden days.

James Bay Tulips, acrylic on canvas, 16x20
Flowers are so beautiful they just seem to cry out "Paint me". This morning was drizzling rain and the colors were crisp. I forgot to bring blue but I had turquoise. So theres lots of turquoise in my painting. And I managed a nice warm blue by mixing it with purple. Well, I like it imperfections and all.
