698 Sun Flowers in a Jar

 These are the same sunflowers from last week. I started this painting Sunday night and left everything set up and took a couple of days away from the studio at the Empress. Today I went in and started working on it again.  I had to lower the water line in the jar as it had evaporated (or the flowers drank it) over the two days. I decided to leave out the dark shadows from the flowers were casting on the blue cloth as I found it make the composition too cluttered.

I did this with the only light coming in from the north facing window. I quite like it at this stage. 

673 Yellow Roses in a Jar

$550

I picked up these yellow roses from Thrifty's this morning.  They are more leaves than flowers but I like the way the leaves look through the jar.
Flowers each have a meaning. Yellow roses signify joy.  Makes sense somehow.
Oil on canvas 16x20"

545 Blue Bridge

I did this Blue Bridge Painting as a workshop demo recently. I really like the Blue Bridge also known as the Johnson Street Bridge. It just LOOMS in the landscape. It's like a mountain backdrop.  Victoria is soon to lose "Old Blue".  The city has already ordered it's replacement from a catalogue.
I've painted the Blue Bridge a number of times. They sell quickly. Obviously I'm not the only one who admires this bridge. Do they call a bridge a "her"?

I think the rule is that if it's built by a man it's a her and if it's built by a woman it's a him.
