This second plaque in the series has a bright sunny background and is a little larger than the first one, at about 9″ across. I chose to put a little Hummingbird off to the left and a Lady bug on a leaf. This design is joyous with the abundance of blooms on the bush in many stages of color morphing.
These three trays are painted with three different and striking floral motifs. Deep purple tulips wave in the wind on one of them. Water lilies slick with water densely pack another tray. I painted the lilies with the goal of capturing the memory of dragging my hand, as a child, through the slippery carpets of saucer shaped leaves while on a canoe ride on a New Hampshire lake. The third tray is filled with delicately painted Hydrangeas. You may have noticed that this is a favorite flower of mine and I have done them in many styles over the years. Of course there is a bug on each tray!
This rose is painted on a wooden plaque that is 6″X4″. It is based on photo I took in Elizabeth Park, Hartford one summer. The sun was just streaming through the pale petals and I just had to capture it! I think this underside view is so much more interesting than a traditional view! There is also a honey bee who has come to visit. |
These intense Petunias, Day Lilies and a Monarch Butterfly are painted on a 12″ square canvas. Although I rarely paint on canvas I did this one with the goal of capturing the cropped effect close up photos have. I have received a great many positive reviews on this unusual (for me) item. I have placed this painting in a wooden frame with a purple stain. It is available with or without this frame. Do you want to know more about this piece? Send me an email or leave a comment.
