Flowers for Avis

I am sending these virtual flowers to my friend Avis with love and hugs.

Two Tulips 584

Tulips are my favorite spring flower. I hope you are enjoying some beautiful flowers of the season.

Lemon Slices 583

It looks like the knife won this battle. Time to make lemonade.

Breaking Up 582

I enjoyed painting the last garlic bulb so much that I did another one. There is always a lot of garlic in our house so it is a ready subject to paint. Free shipping.

That's Italian 581

This bulb of garlic is so excited about the gravy (pasta sauce) that I am making that it is breaking itself apart. It will probably try to jump in the pot before I get a chance to crush it!

Blueberry Attack

These little blueberries are attacking the orange guys. They think that they (the blueberries) can win by sheer numbers. It was a crazy scene as you can see by the colors thrown around. Who won?

Ride to Remember

My friend, Scott Roark, decided 11 years ago to launch a bicycle ride to raise money for Alzheimer research in support of his Mother. Scott's  "Ride to Remember" covers 250 miles across South Carolina and has become so successful that he has to turn away riders! My painting depicts the Yorktown, moored in Charleston, South Carolina, the location of the end-of-ride banquet and fund raiser. Congratulations Scott!

The Roundup

I love the way these little boats snuggled up together.

Crazy Color 551

This is a bit unusual for me but I really enjoyed playing with the impressionistic brush strokes and this color combination. I will do more of this in the future.

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.

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!

Rose Bud 570

I decided to paint this pretty little rose bud, but when I was finished, it looked so boring. So I got out my pallet knife and started adding texture to this delicate flower. I like it a lot better.

Blue Bird 569

I love all of the bird activity now that spring is close.

Pretty Bird 568

We must be getting close to spring. There is a lot of bird activity around my home. I love the colors on this little guy.

Bell

I was delighted to paint this little baby doll as a Christmas gift for a friends daughter.

Mixed Company

Juicy orange slices and plump blueberries. Yum!

My New Orchid 554

I found a beautiful, big orchid at Whole Foods. The newest blooms and buds were so interesting, I had to paint them.

Look the Other Way 543

This is the last painting in my sunflower/wallpaper series. I do like how these paintings turned out. Wallpaper will definitely find it's way into more of my paintings.

Looking Down 542

Another one of my sunflower paintings with a pattered background. These are fun.
