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″.

Hydrangea Inspiration
In the midst of the Corvid-10 social distancing I had trouble getting my ‘engines’ started on a new painting. Then I came across a photo I had taken last summer and my inspiration came roaring back. I painted this pale blue Hydrangea just as it was about to burst open to full bloom. I love the delicateness I was able to achieve with the life size petals. I painted the visiting bee with a softer focus to capture his motion in flight. The small plaque is only 9″ X 7″ and is edged in shades of antique gold. Although this one has sold, I can paint something similar for $95 if you desire . Please contact me through this site if you are interested in commissioning anything.
Irises Heart
Bold purple Irises and two butterflies are painted in fluid acrylic on a 10″ wide wooden heart which can hang on the wall by a hook or by the attached cord. I can paint something similar for you for $75 including shipping in the United States.
Orchid with Butterfly Plaque
Orchids are an intense flower and I painted this close up image to emphasize that. Deep fuchsia pink and red flowers stand out on the grey background. A white Tree Nymph Butterfly is my signature insect for this piece. The small plaque is 8 1/2″ X 6 3/4″ with an antique gold edging. It is ready for hanging with a hook on the back. It is for sale at $80 including shipping and handling in the United States. If you are interested in purchasing this plaque or custom ordering a similar piece with a different motif, please contact me through this site.
