860 Modest Beauties, oil on board, 6x6

sold-USA

This is the same bouquet gathered from yesterday. I turned the jar and liked the droopy calendulas and daisy and the big red velvety gerbera, and the now droopy snap dragons. There are a few lavender stocks that are so fragrant it was an extra treat to paint today.
Below is my set up.

858 Amazing Carnations, oil on board, 6x6

These carnations are amazing. This is at least the third painting I've done of them. I've kept them in the fridge between painting them. I've still got those pavement flowers from two weeks ago in the fridge. So I'll give them a go later today. I'm off to Bastion Square.

634 Plum Blossoms

SOLD

The streets are lined with blossoming trees. I picked up these little plum blossoms on my way to the Empress this morning. I don't know about the purple block but I like the green pattern on the back cloth. I also like the way the blossoms turned out. 

543 Precious Cargo

I love painting dads and their kids. It just warms my heart to see these big guys being so gentle and tender with their little ones. This is  a Holland Point scene. 

442 Esquimalt Lagooon, Knife Painting

sold (Vancouver)

This is a knife painting I did at the Esquimalt Lagoon this winter. I really like the wonderful textures you get with a knife painting. Takes for ever to dry though.
