FRESIAS

                                                       11X14 oil on panel

Spotted these bright yellow Fresias at Trader Joes's (my favorite flower store!)  on a cold, wet, snowy day   and just had to paint them.  They were a reminder that spring is coming...someday!

I love my mercury pot with the yellow Fresias. I added  violet and light purple in the coloring to compliment the yellow flowers.

This is another triangle composition.  I think it is one of my favorite 
styles.

SUNFLOWERS AND BIRDS

                               original still life, oil on 14x24 Belgian Linen

Saw these two ceramic birds and knew just where I wanted to paint them.  The sunflowers are from Trader Joe's.  I can go there on a cold, rainy day and get cheered up instantly with all of their beautiful flowers.
