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.

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)
