My Rhododendron painting is a small canvas, only 6″ X 6″. It is my New England themed entry in a large array of 250 paintings called the New England Mosaic. This fund raiser display is currently (in the summer of 2023) making the rounds of several venues. I participated in this effort as a member of The Agawam Community Artists and Artisans. I am honored that my painting quickly sold.
“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.
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″.
I painted three types of Orchids on this metal watering can for an Orchid lover. Orchids can present an artist with tough details and all three varieties here had their own unique challenges! I loved it!! There also is a Malachite butterfly, a small Honey bee and four ladybugs on this piece.
