The Gift - floral still life hydrangea

by Marion Hedger

oil palette knife painting

18x24cm MDF canvas panel

This plant was a gift from a friend. The colour of the hydrangea was really nice but it was the pot which appealed to me more. The rough texture was very tactile.

Working Loose on Peonies, Bowl of Beauties by Marion Hedger

Bowl of Beauties floral still life

by Marion Hedger

Peony oil painting

20x20cm deep box canvas (1.5inch)

Edges painted purple

Painted with a palette knife.

SOLD

CONTACT ME to commission a similar piece

Soft Edges
Obtaining soft edges with a palette knife is difficult, so I first painted the peonies followed by the background. Where I wanted soft edges, I swiped palette knife across the edge to soften it and mix the paint. Where necessary I added extra paint on the knife before swiping going from the petal into the background and sometimes vice versa.

Tropical Flowers by Ann McCann 20 X 20" Oil

Have you ever visited Sanibel Island, better known as shell island?  It is off the coast of Fort Myers, Florida, and you can drive to it over the Gulf.  The bougainvillea were gorgeous, and we shelled on the beach for hours.  There are alligators and exotic birds too!

"Coneflowers" Original Oil Paintings by Hallie Kohn Art

Coneflowers are definitely one of my favorite perennials. The striking combination of oranges and pinks make them really stand out in a garden. I love how they seem to bloom for so long, and when they seed the goldfinches just sit on top like the flower head is a little table.

God Bless America! by Pamela Blaies

Blushing Basketful

6" x 6"

oil on linen

I hope you enjoyed Memorial Day weekend. It seems inadequate to say "Thank You," but how thankful I am to those who made the ultimate sacrifice for my freedom. God Bless America!

My Petite Painting Project - 100 paintings in 100 days is coming right along. I think I am getting close to painting #60! These roses didn't last very long and I had too many commitments, so I wasn't able to paint them enough. I think I will go to the market today and get some more!

Little Pink Teacups by Pamela Blaies

Bowl of Buttercups

6" x 6"

oil on linen panel

I've been admiring the buttercups along the road and went on a quest to find some to paint yesterday. It was a little too windy to paint outside, so I brought them in. I love the light play on the petals.  They are like little, pink teacups.

Home Sweet Home by Pamela Blaies

Roses in Missouri

After about 3 weeks of travel I am so happy to be home. The flowers and landscapes were amazing and lush in the places I visited and I probably have enough inspiration to last me the year. This painting is of a rosebush in Missouri that I saw early one morning while exploring. It was in a perfectly tended little garden nestled in the shadows of other greenery. I liked how the sun was highlighting the little pink roses in various stages of bloom.

With Love - A Floral Bouquet by Judy Mackey

"With Love"

8 x 6 inches, Oil on Board

Available for purchase, click here.

A few weeks ago, my doorbell rang and a lady delivery person asked me my name then handed me this lovely bouquet.  Full of pink roses, carnations, stocks, heathers and big yellow lilies.  Oh how I love delivered flowers  for no special occasion but just to be told "I'm thinking of you".
