Irises 11 x 14 – Acrylic on Wood I’m finding it difficult to get a good photo of this painting. The purples should be dark and rich and the yellows soft and delicate. I think this one is a lot closer to what I see on my easel than the first two are. And it’s [...]

Irises 11 x 14 – Acrylic on Wood Added a lot of sinuous greenery and some more of those muted yellows that set off the purples in the blossoms so well.

Irises – WIP1
Irises 11 x 14 – Acrylic on Wood Not the painting I thought I would be starting – my river sketch isn’t ready for the panel yet. But this is one I’ve been wanting to do for a while so I don’t mind. Purple, mauve, violet, lavender, plum, wine, magenta, all against a backdrop of [...]

Solitaire – Finished
Solitaire – 20 x 20 – Acrylic on Panel – Reserved for Mayberry Done! The white flower basks on the dark leaves; the sunlight traces paths along the petals. Colour spills from the centre, reaching out to influence the rest of the flower. Way too much fun – I will have to do some more [...]

Solitaire WIP5
Solitaire – 20 x 20 – Acrylic on Panel – Reserved for Mayberry Some more of the background is in, defining the edges of the petals and echoing the shapes of the leaves in the darker ochres and greens and blues. I love the way these colours are emerging – a little surprised at the [...]

Solitaire WIP3
Solitaire – 20 x 20 – Acrylic on Panel – Reserved for Mayberry I really wanted to see how the background works against the flower petals.

Solitaire WIP2
Solitaire – 20 x 20 – Acrylic on Panel – Reserved for Mayberry Starting in on some of the petals now… For a white flower, there’s not a lot of white paint on the panel. I especially like the way the afternoon light hits the petals and the way the center of the flower spills [...]

Solitaire WIP1
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. I loved bisecting the painting surface with bright thin pinks and purples and then echoing that in the background greens. And the delightful flowers bursting forth from the center of the plant provide a soft counterpoint to [...]
