Lily of the valley

"Red is the rose that in yonder garden grows Fair is the lily of the valley

Clear is the water that flows from the Boyne But my love is fairer than any. 

This is a classic Irish song that's pretty and it reminds me of the painting!  Happy Painting!

Birds of a Feather

I believe these are fairy finches.. I just can't get over how cute they are.  I have been painting birds even though I am primarily known for painting flowers and I am hooked!  They are like flowers with wings.  Thanks for looking!

Sunflowers & Stargazers

Sunflowers and stargazers.  I love these flowers the stargazers are especially difficult because they keep opening and changing there shape on me!  Well, I hope you enjoy!  And have a great weekend. 

P.S. “Great things are done by a series of small things brought together.” ~Vincent Van Gogh

Goldfinch & Pine

The goldfinch is such a beauty! I feel birds are flowers with wings.:).  I am straying from my usual florals these days because it's been so busy with kids in school and starting sports and music I feel my head spinning!  So a simple bird takes me out of the stress and into a world of simplicity.  I hope you have a great time in your studio!  Happy Painting

P.S.  The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls.

Robin in the Rain

So it was a rare, rainy day in Scottsdale today.  And as I sat and thought about what I was going to paint suddenly a robin came to mind!  Nothing to deep.. 

But then I thought about all the rainy days I looked out my window in Vancouver, Canada where rain is as common as Sunshine is here, I thought wow so many memories.  Robins in my yard pulling up worms in the rain!  Funny but I guess sometimes birds remind us of places or even people.  

P.S.

Even in literature and art, no man who bothers about originality will ever be original: whereas if you simply try to tell the truth (without caring twopence how often it has been told before) you will, nine times out of ten, become original without ever having noticed it.

Radishes

Finally got around to painting this beautiful veggie!  I love the colors and the variety of textures.  And then when your done painting them you eat them.

Happy Sunday!
