Birthday Flowers



Birthday Flowers
6x8in oil on canvas panel   $125. SOLD

No - not feathers, but it was my birthday on Saturday
and I have so many flowers to paint before they die.
These are from my daughter. A beautiful mixed bouquet.

Artist Note
I received some fabulous suggestions for my painting
of the eagle feather. It has set me off on a whole new
way of thinking about how I want to paint it.
Thank you all so much. Keep the ideas coming and it
will lead to a new series.

  4. Happy Birthday, dear Julia, even though I'm late! The wishes are
      always good! So glowing, your Birthday flowers still life!

      I was born in Sagittarius, too ... It 's always nice to have new ideas through sharing, But I have never painted feathers and even windows (I have a single window between all my watercolors) so sometimes I read your posts always so interesting without being able to make a contribution!
    I wish, this time, in advance, a beautiful and happy Thanksgiving!
