Ain't no sunshine when she's gone.

This is a cropped painting of sunflowers. I have yet to find the perfect crop but I'm working on it.

I am also including a photo of my son and my dearest friend who passed on this week,after a horrific struggle with Ovarian Cancer. Words can not express my sorrow. She will be missed,my irreplaceable,fun, beautiful,loving friend. You are forever in our hearts.

Bright and Cheery

As I was painting this i could hardly stand the color, tooooo bright,even for me. I toned it down with some ink and watercolor pencils. A quick, fun painting of make believe flowers? May help ward off the winter doldrums.

On my way.... sort of WIP?

I feel like it's been a long time since I've posted. No doubt that's because everything I've painted lately has ended up in the trash. This painting was on it's way, but when I gave it another look I realized that i liked the yellow green ,red and blue too. I'm thinking I have lost my rhythm, sort of like a writer's block?

I think this has possibilities,so on I go, happily into a weekend of painting.

Really I wanted to thank http://http://lauratrevey.blogspot.com/ for her inspiration to paint, she is posting a new painting everyday for the month of January.

A little bit of Christmas

More holiday flowers. A time to reflect and count your blessings. Family,friends, and health.

I am planning on adding some yellow highlights to the leaves on this mixed media painting.

Holiday wishes

Holiday wishes with all my painting misses.Working on a more transparent new year.

Amaryllis

What I learned... glazing is a tricky thing and I need to work on it! I need to develop some reference sheets of favorite glazes.

Tis the season to plant bulbs!

Now that Thanksgiving is over I can concentrate a bit more on painting. Watercolor and pastel ,Christmas Amaryllis.I am going to paint another Amaryllis with a stronger focus on the flower.
