The Roundup

I love the way these little boats snuggled up together.

Fuzz Ball

I found a picture of this kitten on a free photo sharing site. It was so cute I had to paint it!

Beautiful Evening

My husband and I recently vacationed in Bonaire. The sunsets are beautiful. You can just imagine walking to the beach with a glass of wine, siting in these chairs and enjoying the spectacular sunset.

Different Kind of Bird 572

One of the really nice things about living in Florida is the variety of flowers. There is always something blooming. This Bird of Paradise has so many colors in just one bloom.

Beach Bum 571

This pelican was not very happy with me sneaking up on him to get a picture. I think he was giving me the evil eye!

Lit From Above

These flowers made a home on my dining room table. It wasn't until I turned on the overhead light that I saw a painting. I love the cast shadows on the table.

Shore Bird 533

This little beggar must be using social media. He somehow learned t hat I was giving out treats Word travels fast!.

Shore Bird 532

This seagull stole part of my lunch and took off like a shot! Dirty bird.

Shore Bird

There are always several types of birds hanging out at the beach. The seagulls seem to outnumber the others and are always looking for handouts.

Shade Tree

I love the beach but you really need some shade on these hot, summer days.

Wall Flowers 540

I am a big fan of fellow artist Diane Hoeptner's cat paintings. She has included some very interesting wallpaper/fabric backgrounds in several of her paintings. I decided to do a little experimenting with some sunflowers and wallpaper. I am happy with the result!

The Path 510

During my walk on a hazy day, I saw this sidewalk with beautiful landscaping.

A beautiful, bright, sunny day in Naples, Florida. I was lucky enough to be in the botanical garden with my paints when this scene appeared.

Finale!

This is the end of my daisy series. They have finally faded beyond the "acceptable model" point..    I hope that I did not paint them beyond their welcome. My next series will be much shorter :-D

The Heat

Since the weather is warming up, I put my daisies in a warm orange environment. The little one was so shocked, she passed out! I think the daisies days are numbered.
