It has been a couple of days since I painted and I felt very rusty but I pulled together a little painting. It is Memorial Weekend and it has been a quiet relaxing time. Wishing you all a happy Memorial Day!!

I will be posting tomorow. Down with a root canal...

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.

This is a relist of one of my paintings from last year. Rain Rain Rain and big black sky and no sun to photograph. Oh well maybe in about 2 or 3 days or when we have a break in the weather.

One of those days when I wasn't sure what I wanted to paint. I bought these sugar snap peas yesterday and they are very tasty. I tried to lay down a stroke and leave it and build the painting stroke by stroke. I gave myself a time limit and I finished exactly within the perameters of the time alloted. Fun!! The color scheme is a little wierd I think but I liked it. 6x8 inches oil Raymar canvas panel

These are pincushion flowers (that is the name I know them by) and they are perennials.

My pincusion flowers are very pretty this year. I had a variety of colored ones several years ago that I grew from seed. My husband was trying to be helpful and fight the weeds. He used weed killer all over my garden and yep all of my flowers died. That was a couple of years ago. This lavendar color is the only one I can find at the garden center. They do come in white, light pink, and a darker burgandy color. 6x6 inches oil canvas panel
