"FIRST BLOOM"

(Sold)







I have never painted a flower this small and I must say, "I really like this process."
This will be the first in a series working from a photo study I did on flowers some years back. The canvases I painted on at the time were 48"x48" up to 72"X72".... So here I am 15 years later, looking at my photos with new interest and excitement on doing them for my blog. This is the first of, of however many I paint. Enjoy.

(SOLD)

"THE MEADOW"

6"X6" oil on wood panel

(SOLD)

"MY PATH"

6"X6" oil on wood panel

(SOLD)





Here is another example of tone and mood. I must say, the original is much richer in color as is all. Every thing was painted excepted the trees in pointillism. As for the name, it is a metaphor of my own path as who I am.
