Marigolds

 

 

These Marigolds live in a pot on the steps of the front porch,

welcoming visitors with their cheery golden countenances.

 I love the way their petals reflect various shades of gold and orange,

 and chose to paint them in such a way that this feature stands out.

Low Tide at Sunset

 

 

 

 

​Another Oregon seascape painting. 

Along the rocky coastline, there are places

where the low tides leave pools of water among the rocks.

 Because of the often misty conditions and low lying fog,

 the sunsets are spectacular.

Easy Being Green

 

 

 

 

Painted for DPW's "Green" challenge.

 Being spring, when everything is shades of green,

 from the moss on the tree trunks, to the new grasses and leaves on the trees,

 it was pretty easy to paint this one.

 I walk/hike almost everyday in this county park near where I live.

  So I took this picture with my phone as I neared the river,

 because I liked the scene;

and used it to paint this painting.

Day Lilies

 

 

​The garden is teeming with pretty yellow day lilies.

They line the walkway and everyday I pass them, admiring their beauty.

They seem to grow in a jungle of flashing gold and green,

so tangled, that I never before thought to paint them - until today.

 I am quite pleased with the effort.

Gardenia in Red Bowl

 

 

The subtle colors in the white petals

 of this sweet smelling Gardenia,

 is what makes this wonderful flower so spectacular.

 It floats in a red lacquer bowl

which sets off the creamy white petals and dark green leaves,

 making for a lovely still life.

An Iris for Mom

 

 

 

I painted this for my Mom for Mother's Day;

and used it for DPW's "same size" challenge

where you had to paint something

the same size on support as it is in reality.

Then show the two in your photo.
