During these busy summer days I enjoy a little me time painting at the kitchen counter easel!  With kids constantly asking for snacks, and things to build, or do all day it's a good break to paint my little daily painting!  Don't get me wrong I wouldn't have it any other way.  Summertime is special.

Hope your are having a great summer!  Happy painting!

Time Well Spent

Bid on painting here!

Decided to take on the "orchid challenge", something I made up... there isn't really an orchid challenge.  

Anyhow, I was given this beautiful orchid for Mothers Day and I look at it and I kept telling myself to paint it and now that I have, I am full of ideas on how I want to capture it in a painting.  I am playing with the abstract in the background, to offset the structured Orchid.  I really quite enjoy this process and will most likely try it out with my other favorite flowers.  Hope you enjoy, and happy painting!

Blooming Bells

I am not sure what these are?  They look like blue bells... I hope they are.  They were in with a bouquet I bought from TJ's , and I really liked them a lot so I painted just the stem.  Plus I love how the green vase picks up light!  Oh, how I love flowers.  Hope you enjoy this snippet
