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.
