Artist Note.

A friend gave me these from her garden.

I was really captivated by the red rim

around the yellow center.

I started off by placing the vase

outside in a bunch of weeds -

just to see the color the white petals

turned with the blue sky 

casting its color down on them. 

I made a few color notes 

then I came back inside

and finished it off with a warm spotlight

imitating the sun.

Have you ever placed a piece of white paper

in the shadow area outside?

It has to be where the sky is directly overhead.

It is AMAZING how blue the paper becomes.

Better still, try placing it half in shadow 

and half in the sunshine...wowzer!

The name The Poets Daffodil - Narcissus
is very appealing. The legend and history
I found interesting. If you have time

Santa fe Adobe

Santa Fe Adobe

8x6" oil on canvas panel $150.  SOLD

Artist Note

I started this plein air last year 

and finished it off in the
studio recently
when I discovered it at the bottom

of my plein air carrying box!

What more could I want...

an adobe home with a blue gate

- the subjects I love.

These people must get a lot of mail. 

This has a sturdy post and big box.

Tulip Pleasure

Tulip Pleasure

8x6in oil on canvas panel $150.SOLD


Artist Note.
I love to paint the flowers that are in season
and at the moment that
means Daffodils and Tulips.
I bought these tulips into the
studio for a fellow guild member
who loves tulips.
She has taught me
a lot of neat things about them
like...
they move all the time...
and they can grow extra petals!
