OIL, STILL LIFE, 8X10, 'THISTLE LOVE', Daily Painting

The poor, lonely thistle
So often overlooked
Worse yet, despised!
A weed...nonsense!


One person's weed is another's glorious bloom.  And for me this is a glorious bloom!

Picked from the fields of North Carolina.

Pretty as a rose!


Have a glorious day and look for roses everywhere.

Well, what can I say?  Throw a couple strawberries on a windowsill, the light streams in....it's a done deal.  Carol is going to paint it.

Mother Nature really is the best artist of all!

ANOTHER DAY IN PARADISE, 8X6, OIL

A few weeks ago, I awoke early, grabbed a cup of coffee and my camera and headed off to my favorite park on the inter-coastal.  I was rewarded with a peaceful morning, arriving just as daylight was breaking.  A blue heron was perched on a piling, contemplating breakfast, with the sun backlighting the scene.  

How could I not paint it??  Well, I didn't even try to resist.  A month from now, it may be 95 degrees with 100% humidity and everyone who lives in the southeast may be wondering, why??  I will have this little reminder of why.  For someone else, it may be a snow shovel or bad back, but for me, this will do the trick.
