Spring Bouquet

11x14 oil on board

Its all about the blooms! I didn't even have the patience to finish the details in this painting. The flowers are the main event!

First Rose


8x10 oil on board

It is so good to see some color! This is from the first bloom of our rose bush in the back yard. Thanks Jerry, for taking good care of our roses.

Pansies Against Bamboo


8x10 oil on board

The first pansies of the year came as a welcomed burst of color since we had so much cold and gray this year.

Camillias

8x10 oil on board.

This one went a little abstract but I like the way it turned out. The pitcher was actually back-lit but I didn't like the way the shadow looked in the front of the pitcher so I gave it may best shot at "creating" the shadow and made the light source look as though it was coming from the left. But, I didn't want to loose the cool sliver of bright yellow light on the back of the table so I left that. It probably doesn't make logical sense but...I like it.

Charleston From a Distance

12x8 oil on board

This was painted from Sullivan's Island on our Wednesday painting day with Mary and Anne. The trees against the hazy sky and the way they framed the city really captured my attention.
