Oranges,

Well. once again it's been awhile since I have posted any art work. My wonderful family keeps me busy. My daughter is expecting twin boys, so she and I have been working on setting up the nursery. Then I went to Los Angeles to take care of my adorable grandchildren ages 5 and 3, while their parents went on a business trip to New York City. I'm still working on the flower series and have been working up ideas to start a new painting. In the mean time I did this small painting for a show I am having at a local coffeehouse/cafe in Portland.

Autumn Flowers

"

This was my next attempt in the Flower Series I have started. Again, I am trying to get some movement in the Petals. I am working from a variety of flowers I have dried over the summer. I really need some comments left on my blog, so please feel free to give me your thoughts on this recent direction of paintings!

Reaching for the Sun

Well, it has been a long time since I have posted any new work. I have recently felt the need to work larger and to start a series. Sometimes trying to decide which direction to go in painting can be an emotional one. This is my first attempt at a series of Flowers. I really enjoyed trying to capture the movement I saw in the petals.
