Solitaire – 20 x 20 – Acrylic on Panel – Reserved for Mayberry It’s time for a flower I think! I was captivated by the sun on the petals of this delicate white flower. The centre explodes outward and will splash colour on the white petals to come…

Cleome – Done
Cleome – 9 x 12 inches – acrylic on wood – commission This was great fun to paint.

Cleome – WIP 1
Cleome – 9 x 12 inches – acrylic on wood – commission I’d never seen these flowers before being commissioned to paint one.

Sunflowers – WIP2
Sunflowers – 18 x 24 – Acrylic on Wood – Reserved for Mayberry Fine Art I wish I could show you how vibrant this painting is turning out in real life. The little jpg is just not doing it justice. I love painting flowers – I get to play with such vibrant colour!

Sunflowers WIP 1
Sunflowers – 18 x 24 – Acrylic on Wood – Reserved for Mayberry Fine Art I love sunflowers. In this painting the flowers are writhing like flames. I love the sinuous motion of the petals and leaves. Maybe I will think of a better title that involves fire in some way. And I love the [...]
