Orchid Study, plein air

Orchid Study

About This Painting:
Got out this morning and painted these lovely orchids that my husband grows. This is actually the second try, as the first one got to detailed in the background and took away from the flowers, So I simplified the background and then repainted the orchids!

It was a wonderful morning, cool and breezy for a change. I was enjoying myself and then just as I was finishing the second try, my husband starts weed-eating! There were bugs and grass flying everywhere. So I called it quits and helped with the yard work.

Thanks for looking!

Spider Lily Morn, plein air painting

"Spider Lily Morn"

About This Painting:
I got out very early this morning, to paint before the heat is unbearable. The spider lilies are blooming everywhere, and these had a nice tree behind them to set them off. I darkened the colors of the sky too, as the sunlight began to shine right on the lilies. The colors were amazing.

I had a client ask me if they were real, she said they look like something from outer space!

Painted en plein air, alla prima. (Out doors, all in one session.)

Endless Grace, 5 angels

"Endless Grace"

About This Painting:
I love these little palette knife paintings full of symbolism.

5 is the number for God's grace, so I put five angels in all their own colors. Using the palette knife for the abstract quality and texture, I tried to capture a sense of wonder.

Purple is for the unknown, or spiritual awareness, also it can symbolize nobility.

I added the star in the shape of the cross to symbolize Jesus as the morning star. And I made the bottom of the sky a little lighter to indicate that the dawn is approaching.

I especially like the colors of the angel's overflowing onto the plants!
