“Sunflower Burst is a 10” wide wood plaque with a live edge. I love flowers that are less than perfect with droopy petals and various stages of growth. My painted blossoms do not look like they come from a flower catalogue! Of course there is a bee here too! This plaque recently sold at an exhibit that was a fundraiser for Ukraine.
This is a Gnatsnatcher bird sitting in a springtime Crab Apple tree. The painting is dedicated to my late cousin Heidi whose wonderful bird photo was my inspiration. It is 8″ X 10″ on wood. It sold before it was even completed!
The request for this commission was for Camellias and Gardenias, two flowers I had never painted before. I had fun with the silver bowl, the bee and the Lady Bug as well. The wood plaque is 9″ X 7″.
A Grandmother’s gifts to her grandchildren! Two favorite ‘Stuffies’, a warthog and a donkey, will now always be preserved for these two children. This subject of this commission was another first for me, but since I love painting texture it was right up my alley!! They are painted on wooden plaques 9″ X 12″ each.
And the two little turtles are painted on small stones to fit in little hands! I actually enjoyed painting the turtle undersides more than the tops!!
