PINCUSHION FLOWER II SOLD



I don't know the botanical name of these flowers and have always known them as pincushion flowers. They are really pretty and lyrical. The blooms extends from the base of the plant which grows close to the ground. They perch on the top of spindly stems which are tossed about by the wind. They are a lovely violet color. These plants are perennials. I love them because they begin blooming in early spring and continue throughout the summer if the dead blossoms are picked off.

Great composition and the colors of the flowers are lovely! The colors in the background add depth to your painting. Nice work on the glass, too.

Lovely and full of movement. I just love that slash of grey coming down the top left corner.

The browns and blues result in a very quiet and restful painting, Linda!I sort of remembers the flowers from my childhood days,lovely frail little things!

Peach Peony....Day 24

  6"X 6" Oil Ampersand Gessobord $125.00 I'm ready to chill out after this one.  It was really HARD!   So many petals going all different ways.  I am pleased with the results.  I have to laugh at myself....I thought of showing a step by step process in the painting of this peony....but....never looks like anything until the last few strokes!  I am happy with this painting however I got here.  This painting is found here :
