Small Floral Painting, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, 8x10" Pink Floral Oil Painting, Palette Knife

I wanted to create a soft, soothing floral still life. Painted on .75" deep canvas, with painted sides. Finished with a light spray of varnish to enhance and protect the colors.


Purchase here
I worked with both brush and palette knife, but 90% of it is the knife.


Hope you enjoy it!

Roadside Floral, Small Oil Painting, Daily Painting, 9x12" Oil on Canvas

When I go on my daily walk, up and down the country roads, I marvel at the gorgeous wildflowers and weeds (?) I find.  It was on these walks, that I discovered the lovely daylilies I planted in Florida, grow wild in the mountains.

So that is the inspiration for this painting, as I gathered these blooms from the ditches and easements along the country roads.

I plopped them in a favorite piece of pottery and started painting.

This piece is 9x12x.75"

Thanks for reading my blog today.

Rose Painting, Rose Still Life, Small Oil Painting, Daily Painting, 6x8" Oil on Panel

Everybody loves roses.  I find them difficult to grow, and to paint.

Purchase here

I used both a brush and palette knife on this piece.  I particularly paid attention to edges.



They say less is more, so I tried to do less and keep it fresh.

Thanks for viewing my blog today.

Rose Paintings, Floral Paintings, Flower Paintings, Small oil Painting, Daily Painting



I know, I know!  We are all so caught up in our daily lives, rushing around.  Take a deep breath, and relax awhile.

TAKE TIME TO SMELL THE ROSES!  Here are a few of my past paintings.  Maybe they will help.






















Enjoy the Day!

Red Rose Study, 6x8" Original Oil Painting, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting,

A small study of a red rose.  Trying to get my flower power!!

Purchase here

I enjoy a challenge....and for me, this was a challenge.  I would hate to tell you how much time I spent on this little 6x8" piece.

I think it was worth the struggle.  Hopefully, the next rose will come a little easier.

Thanks for reading my blog.

Small Coneflower Painting, Flower Painting, Floral Painting, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, 6x8" Floral Landscape

I planted coneflower (echinacea) around my home in the Blue Ridge Mountains.  So...of course, I had to paint them too.

purchase here

I find them to be easy to grown, and cheerful, with their giant heads and quirky style.

I painted several coneflower paintings last summer, in many sizes and styles.  Somehow, this little one was overlooked and never posted.




I tried to keep it fresh and simple, painting with a large brush.  I also tried to keep the colors harmonized.




All in all, I feel good about the results.  Hope you like it too.

Have a blessed day!

Ballard Park, Original Oil on Canvas

  I had not painted outside in two years, so this was quite a challenge. It was one of those paintings I had to improve upon in the studio. ...
