Monhegan Pink Door

This painting is not completely finished; everyone is asking me to post paintings from my trip to paint on Monhegan Island so here is the first one I did. 

I have just a few adjustments to make and I was pretty happy with the way this intimate little scene turned out. I would love to be able to stand in front of it again to finish, but a good photo will have to be my resource for the little bit I have left to do.

Happy Saturday!

Roses Galore

Rose Collage

It's fun to see all these together. They are all tiny 4 x 4 " paintings framed in black floater frames.

Let me know if you are interested in some of these. I sure had a good time painting them, although they are time consuming.

My daughter and I are very fortunate that my husband loves giving us flowers. These are birthday flowers given to my daughter yesterday and  I decided to act quickly to paint them while they are very fresh and lovely. The roses started out as white with bright pink edges and now they are becoming pale pink at the bottom and still very deep pink closer to the top of the flower.

Have a great week end and thanks for viewing my art.

Smell The Roses

What a fast week this has been! I can't believe tomorrow is Friday already. My color preferences change often when it comes to roses, and right now it is pink that I love. Most of all I would like to smell some sweet old fashioned roses that actually have a beautiful scent. 

When I used to paint watercolors, I loved the smell of rose madder  genuine pigment because it really smells like roses.

I admire gardens that have beautiful roses but here in the Sandhills it is not easy to grow them.  Most of us have planted "Knock-Out" roses which are productive, low maintenance, and tolerate the hot, dry, sandy soil of this area. The rose above is not one of these, but is a variety grown in the Raleigh Rose Garden where it was photographed.

I love painting shadows on the wall behind my still life set up.  This blue vase has an unusual shape and  sometimes makes me think it is going to tip over because it is so skinny at the bottom.
