Delicate Sunshine

 

Here is a painting that was nothing but pure fun to paint!   These Poppies are so delicate and just so remind me of the sunshine.  I love the frilly texture of their petals, its like crushed silk.

Time of Peace

I hope this coming  year is a time of  peace.  There are seasons for everything, and with Christmas ending
and the new year beginning that would be my hope.  So I'd like to wish everyone a Happy , Peaceful,
New Year!

From the Heart

"From the Heart"

There are certain things that always seem beautiful, and maybe its the complexity of them and the simplicity combined.  Simple on the outside, (easier the capture in paint)  more complex in the inside.  And of course beautiful rich colors.  Hope you enjoy the feeling and beauty in these simple pomegranates.

 

P.S. "How difficult it is to be simple."  Vincent van Gogh

So I decided to paint another white tulips painting.  I just love white tulips.

I feel the simplicity works wonders, I think in art I can get carried away so quickly by all the choices, in color.   Color is one that is powerful when it is under control. 

 

Well, all that being said I love color.

 

Cheers

In this painting I was inspired by th white tulips I bought from Safeway.

I love white flowers, and I love Tulips!  So it was a delight painting this.

Sunflowers on Blue II

I went to Trader Joe's and picked up these beautiful Sunflowers to paint a couple days ago.  It seems like sunflowers have a power and drama that get me painting anytime.  Well, this little painting makes me happy! 
Look for it at auction on the www.dailypaintworks.com   webpage.
