#116 Sidewalk closed

Although I was excited to put figures in my painting during a day painting in town, this color relationship appealed even more than the people passing by.

#115 Angel iris

More flower paintings, while they last. Actually, they are going down fast now. In this painting, it was a surprise to see an angel iris--but it doesn't surprise me as they are such heavenly flowers!

#114 Orchid flow

I set this up so the orchids on the left would get a full dose of light. I wanted to keep the shadow colors as light as possible to maximize their delicacy.

#113 Kelly meditating

#112 field trees in spring

Here's a larger version of these field trees with the light coming through them.

#111 Spring on Dogwood Lane

The garden club generously invited artists to come and paint during Garden Week in April. The lightness and movement attracted me in this scene.

#110 field trees in April

Enjoyed using big brushes for just about all strokes in this painting. I find that I really don't need small brushes, except to sign my name on the bottom of the painting.

#109 apple in folds

#108 Cherry blooms

It's always a pleasure to see the colors stand out against all of the green. These shades of violet became the subject of my painting.

#107 Poppy perspectives

The whole environment seemed to move with the man and his dog in this evening scene at the poppy field.

#107 Bradford pear popcorn

There's nothing like the delicacy of Spring. The very first blooms to appear are such a welcome sight.
