Mountain Wildflower Painting, Small Oil Painting, Daily Painting, 6x8" Oil Painting
Another little painting from the Smoky Mountains.
It was a beautiful day, and not long after this hike, we had a picnic. Yummy sandwiches on home made bread, fresh fruit, delicious apple cake from the orchard, and a beautiful view. Life at it's best!
Thanks for visiting my blog today.

Summer landscape painting, Palette Knife Painting, Small Oil Painting, Daily Painting, 6x8" Oil on panel SOLD
January and February.....the months when winter days grow dreary! I feel that way too, and decided it was the perfect time to paint something bright and cheery.

Just a little reminder of summer and warmer days ahead!

Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, Colorado Wildflowers, Flower Painting, 8x10x1.5" Oil, Colorado Kansas Line SOLD
Years ago, I lived in both Colorado and Kansas, but I don't remember these wildflowers that I found growing everywhere, when I visited there last year.

They must have been there, but a visit is different than a young woman, raising a family and working full time.
Sorry for the glare on this image.

I added great swirls of texture to the canvas before painting, trying to capture the feel of flowers swaying in the breeze.
Can you tell I was facing east when I took this shot? In Colorado (at least where I was) when you face west you see the Rockies, when you face east, you see the prairie.
Thanks for reading my blog today.....and keep painting!!

Daily Painting, Blue and Yellow Wildflowers, SOLD 6x8"
Sometimes I like to paint plein air, but, usually I am a studio painter, working from reference photos.

| SOLD |
When I do an abstract, I may have a rough idea of a composition in my mind and I just try to apply it to the canvas. Now and then I decide to try that technique on a more representational work.
Give it a try sometime. See what comes out of your brain!

WILDFLOWERS, ACRYLIC, 20X24, SOLD
This is definitely not my usual painting! A few years ago, I took a month long workshop with Fritz VanEeden. Fritz is a very well known and respected artist from Holland who has been living in our town at least part of the year. I was fortunate enough to work with him for over a month, 3 days a week, for 4-5 hours. Fritz is obsessed, and if he is awake, he must have a paintbrush in his hand! He is also a wonderful man. I do enjoy this type of painting, but I just couldn't get the hang of painting out of my head. So this is my one and only true abstract!Now, my varnishing question got several replies, both here and on facebook, and the winner is......retouch varnish! I have run to my art supply store to grab a can and now feel much more confident in my technique. So, thank you all very much for your replies!

POPPIES, 5X7, ORIGINAL OIL, SOLD
Can you think of anything better that a field of poppies? They are one of my favorite flowers. One of my favorite things about North Carolina are the wildflower fields you find planted next to the roads there. These are from the Bryson City area, off the Smokey Mountain Expressway.
Breathtaking! Just had to give it a try.
If you are wondering why two photos. The first one had too much glare and really bothered me, so I tried to post another. Now it seems there is no way to get rid of the glaring photo!
Also, is anyone having trouble with the "following" feature? I have over 100 blogs that I "follow" but it seems I only get updates on about 20. This morning I spent several hours going through my list and checking out blogs that I have not heard from in some time. It kind of defeats the purpose of "following" when you don't get updates!

GLOUCESTER WILDFLOWERS, 5X7,SOLD
My friend, Donna Vines, is from the Gloucester area. She is a wonderful photographer and artist.Yesterday, we were painting together and she had the most beautiful photograph of what she called a marsh outside of Gloucester. I had my own plan to finish a painting I had started, but immediately changed my mind. Sooo, peeking over her shoulder, we painted the same scene.
You can find it in my Etsy store.
Donna's photos never fail to inspire me whether it be laundry on a line, a view of a friends yard. Her favorite thing to do is take a lovely photograph and then use oil paints on it. Check out her blog for something different.
