Wildflower Clusters

"Wildflower Clusters"

About This Painting:
These wildflowers out by the fence really caught my eye. I was interested in the variety of bright colors. Pink, orange, yellow, and white all right next to each other. I used the dark background to set it all off.

The painting continues on the sides, no need for framing.

Saving Grace, lighthouse

"Saving Grace"

About This Painting:
This was a demonstration for a painting lesson I did a few days ago. I really love these colors. The warm light is a nice contrast to the cool blues and pinks. The rocks were fun to paint too.

Spring's Dawn

"Spring's Dawn"

About This Painting:
Painted this one from memory. Used thick, loose, impressionistic brush strokes -- too much fun.

I see this old oak tree often, as we drive into town. Once all the vegetation grows in thickly again, the water will become very hard to see. But right now it can look so blue it seems fake. The dark branches just add to the effect. So I thought I would try to capture it in a painting.

Tears

"Tears"

About This Painting:
For my Daily Painters 'out of the box' theme on Wed. Definitely something out of my comfort zone!

I have been working on this for a few weeks. It wasn't intended to be a self portrait, but I did use myself as a starting point, then I thinned out the eyebrows and plumped up the lips. I used thin layers of interesting color combinations, like orange and violet, or light blue in the shadows. I really like the colors.

Mama's Girl, Cow with calf

"Mama's Girl"

About This Painting:
I really like the strong temperature contrasts: the cool blues tones against the warm browns. I wanted to keep the loose brush strokes so it would have an impressionistic look, yet I wanted it to be realistic too. It is hard to get both affects. I think I was successful.

The breeding is an Italian breed, called Romagnola. This is Joshua Mixon's new calf, and I used his photograph, by permission, to paint her.

The painting continues on the sides so framing is optional.

Sunny Skies, landscape, ocean

"Sunny Skies"

Sold

About This Painting:
Palette knife painting. Alla prima, or all at once, which makes for nice interactions with the paint. It also adds lots of texture. But I was mostly interested in the color contrast. Palette knife painting has to be my favorite way to paint these days. Keeps things unpredictable, and exciting. the painting becomes more about the paint and the color than it does about the subject.

Valley Floor, Mountain stream

"Valley Floor"

About This Painting:
Started this painting from a demonstration. Then I went back and moved some things around. I was just playing around, got carried away with the rocky cliff and the rocky creek.

I remember the water feeling like ice in Montana. Can't even put my toes in it now when I go back to visit, I can't imagine how we swam in it when we were kids! My friends and I would dam up an area with rocks, taking the ones from where we wanted it deeper, and moving them onto the dam. Had to choose a good spot for it: where the water was already close to knee-deep. We would get the water up to chest high or so within an hour or two, but we had to get out and warm up from time to time.

So many of us are going through hard times these days. I was thinking about the valleys of life. Sometimes you find good things in the valley too.

A Song For MaryFrancis, Painted Bunting

"A Song for MaryFrancis"

About This Painting:

Commissioned piece.

This colorful bird is a Painted Bunting, male. These little buntings are like a flash of color, they are so fast and very hard to photograph! The females are green. Lately we have had a couple of Indigo Buntings too. Robert has two feeders and then he fills up the knot holes with seed also. Doves and Blue Jays try to run off the squirrels, and the black birds come and take over! Today a large Wood Pecker joined the crowd.

Old Barn

"Old Barn"

About This Painting:
I'm teaching three times a week now, so I have a few demonstrations going on all the time. This is a step by step lesson that has been on going for about 3 weeks. An hour each time. Each session we added more to our paintings. Then I went back later and added rocks and more details.

Winter's End Too, Florida Landscape

Winter's End, Florida egrets

"Winter's End"

About This Painting:
We had another cold snap this week for three days or so. It was in the thirties in the mornings. It usually doesn't get cold so often, but this winter started at the end of October, with temps in the forties in the mornings, and by November we had frost and freeze warnings. We have had more cold spells this winter and more often too, than I can remember in over twenty years!

The grass has turned a lovely burnt orange, and when the sun hits it it just glows! I was taken by the dead grass contrasted with the deep blues of the water. It is very striking. It looks fake sometimes.

Natural High, Rocky Mountains

"Natural High"

About This Painting:
It is always an exhilarating thing to hike in the Rocky Mountains. I started this as a painting lesson, then went back and recreated it by adding details and sunshine. I did this from my memories of the Rockies in Montana. Not only do I get a natural high when out in such spectacular places, I also get them when I paint things that bring back such grand memories.

Tall Glass of Water

" Tall Glass of Water"

About This Painting:
I'm not sure about the water, it may need a little more work. I like the sunlight on the horse's shoulder and his neck. I took pictures of this horse in the grass, and made up the water and the reflection, so it has been taking me a few days to get it right.

My Daily Painters group is posting reflections today so that they come up tomorrow on the same day. We try to do a theme on the first Wednesday of each month.

This painting makes me think about Psalms 23:

He makes me lie down in green pastures and He leads me beside the still waters . . .

Thanks for looking!

Cabbage Palm Study, reworked

Paradise, palms at sunset

"Paradise"

About This Painting:
Here is another art lesson I did last week, I have gone back and added more details and a second palm. I like the shades of purple and pink.

This type of painting is so popular, and so fun to paint. We start with an idea from a "how to paint" book, and then we add our own colors and move things around a bit. I take my students through the painting one step at a time, and still each painting turns out different and unique!

Lover's Lane, Beach Sunset

"Lover's Lane"

About This Painting:
This started as a demo, and I have gone back and added a lot of waves and sea grapes. The couple was fun to add too. The palms are from a plein air painting I did last year, only I put them by the ocean instead of the Indian River.

I wanted to get this done before Valentines, but it never worked out . . . Oh well! I like the very impressionistic feel it has, I tried not get too carried away with the detail, and keep it loose, but I tend to keep adding and fixing, so it ended up with birds, and people, and lots of wind and splash!

"SeaGrapes, Study"

About This Painting:
Went to Fort Pierce today and painted with Lori McNamara's plein air group. This is the second of two I did. It was alla prima, fast, loose and all palette knife. Too much fun. I like working on location: fresh air cool breeze, and warm sun. It was a perfect day.

I have been working on this large format off and on for a few months now. This is the second in a series of these large florals, but I had to put them aside before I got very far. Now that my husband is well, I am getting back to some of my goals and ambitions. Life is getting better every day!

Be Mine, heart shaped diamond

"Be Mine"

About This Painting:

I actually painted this gem before I painted "Be Mine Again" a few days ago. But I didn't want to post this one until today, so it will show up on my DP page tomorrow, for Valentines.

This was a fun and special painting because it is symbolic of my engagement ring. I exaggerated the colors and set it all off on red.

Robert asked me to marry him on Valentine's Day nine years ago. We were walking at sunset down at the lake, as we so often did. He told me that of all the women he had known I was the only one he wanted to spend his whole life with. He had already picked out two or three rings, and we went a few days later to choose which one I wanted. The large heart shaped diamond was his first choice, so of course it was my choice too! It is a wonderful reminder of that special day.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Be Mine Again, palette knife painting

"Be Mine Again"

This palette knife painting was created alla prima ( all at once). Purple is often used for the unknown, and of course red is for passion. It was intense and I wanted to let it pour out.

No greater love can anyone give than to give up their life for us. Jesus accepts us as we are, broken, wounded, unholy, and selfish. Yet he loves us, and pursues us, and never gives up on us. He wants us for himself, and to reunite us with our Creator. Faith can heal wounded hearts, and the love you find is not like anything a human can give.

Butterfly Wishes Too

"Butterfly Wishes Too"

Wishes for love and prosperity are symbolized by the red and green in this palette knife painting. I like the way the butterfly looks like it is part of the flower.

I started with a fairly thin lay-in, with large brush strokes, but it just didn't have the same effect. So I let it dry and went over the top with thick layers of paint on the palette knife. That is when it came alive! The colors began to mix together on the painting as I added more paint and pulled the colors across each other. I enjoy this wet-in-wet application, it gets messy, but it is fun to do. Many people are amazed that I use acrylics for this, but when you use the paint thickly, it takes longer to dry and is not a problem at all.

"Grounded"

Dawn's Hope, Florida Sunrise

"Dawn's Hope"

This is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it!

I really sensed a feeling of joy and anticipation as the sun came up and the fog lifted. This painting is symbolic for the way we have a new clean start anytime we chose to trust in Christ. I am not talking about religion, just about talking to God and asking him to forgive us. He is more interested in hearing our thoughts and leading us in a better direction than He is watching us go through the motions of tradition. He speaks to us through nature, through people, and through His word. We just have a hard time tuning in!
