Violets Upon Reflection

In early spring I gathered Violets, Grape Hyacinth and a few Vinca blossoms and placed them in a little blue glass creamer on a glassy surface.  I painted them on an 8″ wooden plate, slightly larger than life, with their reflection.  My signature bug is painted on the back of the plate with an additional flower.  This piece is currently for sale for $85 plus shipping.  Please contact me thru this site if you are interested in purchasing it.

Pansy Chair with Butterfly

Pansies are so wonderfully varied and intense!  I had to restrain my self from choosing too many when painting this sturdy vintage chair.  I painted over the original black paint in purples and blues before embellishing the seat and the back rest with blossoms featuring orange and yellow.    My signature insects are on the backrest; a bee on the front and a distinctive butterfly on the reverse. This chair is available for sale for $325 plus shipping and handling.  Contact me through this site if you are interested in purchasing it.

Abstract Child’s Rocker Revisited

 

 

This child’s rocker is based on a chair I did a number of years ago. I painted both in abstract geometric designs with bold colors; purple, teal, cream, black and gold.
