Lilies



I bought these lilies yesterday discounted and wanted to get a couple of paintings before they die. This little (12x12) still life gave me fits today and I did what
I could do and must leave it alone. I know it's not perfect, but gosh, I learned a lot from working on it. It got a little gray and pasty I think but it's not all bad.

I like this, Linda. It almost has a Matisse look to it. Lovely!

I like to see how you handle patterns on vases. That throws me sometimes. And, I see the Matisse there too! Love your work.

A very pleasant painting with all the textures and patterns. And the flowers, of course!

Really great color palette, Linda. The touches of oranges and yellows in the small dish are so pretty with the blues shining though. That wonderful vase is so beautiful and gives the entire piece a real elegance.

Methinks you're being a little hard on yourself Linda. First of all 12x12 is a pretty good size. Secondly, lilies for me are a challenge to paint. Last, I was just thinking to myself how I like the subtle palette of this painting before I read your post! Hey I love those Sugar Snap Peas too! That must have been fun to paint.

VANITY SOLD

I LOVE 'girl' things like lipstick, perfume, nail polish bottles, and pretty little compact cases. In this painting I was working for limited strokes. I would lay down the paint and leave it without manipulating it in any way. 6X6 inches oil Raymar canvas panel (Archival)

LITTLE ORANGE TEAPOT SOLD

Red Orange is another of my favorite colors. When I saw this great tea pot in one of the stores in town I wanted it right away. But, I thought and thought about it and when I went back to the store it was still there and I decided that it was mine! I am not a tea drinker but I have always loved the shapes and sizes and variety of design of teapots. In this painting I backlit the teapot with natural and studio lighting. I was experimenting with the changing values and shadow. 8X8 inches oil Raymar Canvas Panel (Archival)
