new tulip painting


The Dundas Valley Tour is just around the corner. This is another floral I plan to exhibit at the show. I'm excited about these tulips as Ive done others but this one seems to have the movement I like in flowers. Tulips often lack movement so I stay away from them although they are one of my favorite flowers to have in a vase at home. I am glad I found a photo ( actually its a photo from one of Stephanie's coasters!!! So I borrowed it ) That's right, was over for a visit, put my drink down on a coaster she had on her table and asked if I could take it home as I thought it would make for a great painting. Starting another painting today, not sure what sort of flower I will choose, but I have hundreds of photos in a file to choose from, will keep you posted!!!

spring has sprung...


Easter is all wrapped up and the boys are back to school. I have started a canvas of tulips, will post that today. We had an amazing weekend, celebrating both Easter and the boys bday. Time to get back at it and paint, paint paint. Looking forward to talking to the girls in Clarksburg today to see how the Easter event went and what the response was to the flower paintings I shipped for the exhibit.
