Three paintings by Paula Formanek

Yesterday I painted these 'magical' flowers from memory ... from my recent hikes in the Czech Forest ... When I was there, they were in bloom, providing colour and 'energy' in forest clearings ... 'Enchanting Gloves' - oil with knife on canvas, 20 x 26 cm ... Wishing a happy day to everyone! ...

"Enchanting Gloves" by Paula Formanek 

'A field of Passion', oil with knife on panel, 28 x 36 cm ... this is one I started in Europe and recently brought home ... just completed yesterday. My love for poppies goes back to childhood when I ran through the fields and helped my grandmother pick them ... she would dry them and then submit to state pharmacy ...

"A Field of Passion" by Paula Formanek

This one, started several months ago after I came home with some tulips ... itching to get back into a little painting today after down time with the flu ... A WIP, thick oil on panel  ...

Flowers bring so much into our lives.  Even the most dreary of days are easily brightened by viewing a garden full of blooming flowers.

Hope you have a great day today.  Give someone a flower and brighten their day!

FIRST GARDENIA, 6x8, OIL,SOLD

I don't do a lot of flowers, they frustrate me, but I am planning to try a few. I felt I had to give this one a try. I was on my way to paint with my group, wondering what I would work on, and when I stepped outside, my gardenia bush had it's first bloom of the season. I took it along, was not successful but tried again later in the day.
