"Pink Hydrangeas Still Life"

"Pink Hydrangeas Still Life"

12 x 12 Oil on Stretched Canvas

$125

This is a photo of 2/3's of this painting, which is 12 by 12 inches square. I cut three huge blooms of a hydrangea plant  and put them in a vintage pottery vase with a little pottery pitcher nestled up to them. For the background I used a piece of upholstery cloth with muted flowers on it, picking up my pinks and blues. Hydrangeas are hard to paint because they are a bunch of little blooms all together, even overlapping, but I am always up for a challenge. Hope you like it! Your comments are appreciated.

"The Garden Chair"

"The Garden Chair"

8 x 10 Acrylic on Stretched Canvas

$75

It's the time of year to be planting and working in the garden, so I couldn't resist painting an old chair turned into a planter! I have made some of these before using moss to line  the chair and they are really whimsical and cute...a fun subject for a painting.

"Quiet Time in the Garden"

"Quiet Time in the Garden"

11 x 14 Egg Tempera on Panel

$100

Egg tempera is fun to do, although quite different from watercolors or acrylics or oils. It is egg
yolk mixed with pigment and is a very old and enduring medium. To apply the paint, it is best to work in
layers, sort of building the painting layer by layer, as it is transparent.  When completely dry, it is very hard. Click on this to see it closer.

"Lilies and Brown Betty"

"Lilies and Brown Betty"

12 x 16 Watercolor

$175

I finished the still life with potted lilies and my little Brown Betty tea pot. By the time I got it painted, all the flowers had dropped off the lily and now I must plant it in the ground! I always enjoy doing crochet and lace, so it was fun getting the reflections in the tea pot. The painting looks more vibrant in real life...I may need a new camera! I took the photo outdoors, but still, the colors look more subdued here than in real life. Hope you like it and your comments are appreciated.

Painting Lilies

I am painting a still life of lilies with a tea pot and lace. It is going slow as I have had some other things that had to be done other than painting, as always! For one thing, someone backed into my car, denting the fender and that has to be dealt with. But the painting is coming along and I am enjoying doing it. I think flowers are probably my favorite subject, whether in a still life or in a landscape. So stay turned...it will be finished soon!
