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. 

633 Little Magnolia #2

This is the same magnolia as yesterday. Slightly different set up and without a spotlight. So there was no condensation in the vase. This little vase is around the size of an appliance lightbulb. I found it in a free cycling bin on the sidewalk last year. It sure has gotten a lot of painting mileage. 

632 Little Magnolia

I was not really  on my game today I think. But here's todays little gem. 

631 Empress Magnolia

This is my first painting as Artist in residence at the Fairmont Empress Hotel. I did it with the help of Angelina, a talented young artist visiting Victoria. It was so much fun to paint.

630 "Heading Home", Gonzales Beach Scene

This is a painting I started a couple of years ago and just finished. At least I hope I'm finished with it. I just love beach scenes. The happiest memories are of beach days, eh. 

629 Magnolia Blossom

Well, I did get another painting from this blossom. I put it back in the fridge and maybe I'll get yet another painting out of it. (pardon the raindrops)

628 Still Life With Magnolia Blossoms

bid here

This is from the. magnolia tree in front of my place. It's covered with these beautiful blossoms. This is how it looked when I started painting but  by the end of my painting it had blossomed. I put it in the fridge in case I want to paint it again tomorrow.
