Sunflowers Watering Can

Lots of Sunflowers on this watering can!  I painted a cluster of blooms on one side and a single blossom on the other.  A nice fat Bumble bee is on the top.   There is even a little Ladybug hiding on a petal.  Can you see it? This piece called out to me to have the spout painted black to balance the black handles that came on the can.  I’m glad I listened to it!

Zinnias in a Ball Jar

Bright Zinnias in an old blue glass Ball Jar sit on a table by a window.  I really had fun with this one; from the variety of styles and colors that Zinnias come in, to the glass jar, to the raised lettering and the crocheted doily underneath.  And of course a little honey bee has come by to check things out! I painted this commission on a 12″ X 9″ wood plaque.
