Red Climbing Roses

 
 
​When I saw these gorgeous red roses
climbing up this wonderful old crumbling and patched rock wall
- well it was a painting waiting to happen.

Under the Sea

 
 
Painted for daily paint works underwater challenge.
I tried to capture the beauty and wonder of the seascape
beneath the seas surface -
bright coral, intense plant colors and iridescent fish,
all captured in the muted light coming from the seas surface.

Garden Shed

 
 
 
​Painted for DPW's Garden Challenge.
I painted an old garden shed, and composed this painting
from the various flowers that grow on the property:
pink rhodies, a bed of blue irises, yellow azaleas, magenta clematis.
Besides the garden implements,
I added birds
and one little lady bug (can you find her) for interest.

Cattle Drive

 
 
Painted from some photos I took on a road trip
through south eastern Oregon, where there are many ranches.
I had to wait on the road because of the cattle drive
- cows go where they want.
It was interesting to watch these cowboys moving the cattle along.
So I took a few pictures and enjoyed the experience.

Mimi

 
 
​This painting was done from 'Paint and Draw Together' challenge 
using a photo of the blog owner, Lela Stankovic's sister. 
The photo was taken in bright sunlight,
so I toned down the harshness of the shadows
without eliminating them completely,
to soften and better reveal her features.

Front Porch

 
 
​A wrap around porch is a pleasant place
to sit and enjoy life;
with the bright colors of spring flowers
and the dappled shade and sunlight.
