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.

boys 14th bday...

The boys celebrated their 14th bday this weekend with good friends and family. We missed not having dad around but made up for it with non stop excitement! My boys are 14! !

finished....

So this is the end result of the flower. I love this painting its very delicate and smooth. I do not like the quaility of the image, the colour is off and the hues are much deeper. Oh well good enough.

the beginnings of another flower...

Okay, I took this pic a few weeks ago when I started this painting. Since this was shot Ive completed the painting so will post that today as well. Its a nice painting and heading to Collingwood gallery today.

new week....

Did I mention I want this kitchen for my new house? Its the same model, 1940s ranch and this is the end result with a kitchen reno I found online. Its lovely. I watched a reno today on Design Inc and it was the same style kitchen, limited space but functional and beautiful.

March br is done. New week begins, with driving my friends John and Joyce. Hes quite ill so this little job may go away soon, however I welcome that as I have so much painting to do for the exhibits this spring. Its been a great job, Ive enjoyed their company and insight on being old. They are wonderful people, blessed to know them.
