Overflowing

Painted this rose that I cut from my garden.
Im very thankful this thanksgiving day for this Dailypaintworks site and all the new friends I have made an aquantance with here online. Some I have been able to have come to my class!   There is much more of course to be thankful for but this is an area of life that has been a surprise!  

I am almost completing my second year of dailypainting this December!  I'm thankful for all the encouragement that everyone has given me along the way.

Have a great thanksgiving!

Snow Drops

6"x6" oil on gesso board

I just love painting little flowers like this. I used a reference photo and so it was easy to see the values.  When I painted this I was thinking of how even in the snow these delicate beauties can still survive and grow.  So I have no excuse to not paint when my studio gets chilly this December!  Happy painting.

Hope you enjoy!

Christmas Chickadee

Let's talk birds... This is another little creature I just love!! Growing up in Canada these cuties would hang out on our back porch in the snow.  The black cap chickadee!  Hope you enjoy!
