605 Snow Berries

Sold

I love snowberries. There's a bush right by my walkway. The berries that managed to cling to the branches are now shrivelling and turning sienna. All the bushes energy is going towards the new sprouting yellow green leaves. Spring is in the air.

604 Tulip's Last Day

click to bid

I never throw away tulips till all the petals fall off. I love the way they look right up till the end. These lasted a week since I bought them.

I haven't completed many paintings the last couple weeks due to a pinched nerve. Getting better now and I think the time off might give my work a new direction. Spring time is so beautiful here It's so exciting to see the fresh new colors of blossoms and longer daylight. (There is a seagull nest on my roof and one of the parents likes to sit on my railing watching me paint through the window).

Here's the second painting I got out of my tulip trio.

I picked up these tulips for a demo I did this morning. So far I got three paintings out of them, counting the demo. This is the first one. 

601 Dandelion

Sold

Dandelions are the first real sign of spring. (And one of the most under-appreciated flowers). You've got to paint them fast as they don't last in a vase.

600 Leaf Skeletons and Berries

Spring is just around the corner here in Victoria. Gardens are being raked and pruned. Here are a few little wonders I found yesterday on the sidewalk. The berries are from two different plants. (Sorry I don't know their names). Birds don't bother with them so not a food source. 

599 Little Italy, Montreal Winter Scene

sold

I love lane ways. They are full of interesting contrasts because they are so narrow. This one is a scene from Montreal's Little Italy district.
