The Last of Summer's Hydrangeas by Pamela Blaies

Hydrangeas and White Daisies

24" x 20"

oil on canvas

This is probably the last painting I will be able to do this summer of fresh hydrangeas from my garden. They've had about all they can take of this August weather. I put the freshly cut, sun-faded hydrangeas in a Ball jar and added some daisies and a touch of purple liriope blooms from my yard. The cool lighting along with lots of contrast gives this one a little extra drama.

Summer Flowers by Pamela Blaies

Red Verbena and Bosc Pears

20" x 16"

oil on canvas

Flowers, flowers, flowers. Love 'em! My hydrangeas have been so georgeous this year and I've used them in several of my most recent paintings. I love them in all colors, but especially when they begin to fade in the summer. The subtle colors of these hydrangeas give a beautiful background for the bright red verbena and a couple of bosc pears.

Mother's Day Flowers by Pamela Blaies

Orange Daisies in a Blue Jar

24" x 18"

Oil on Canvas

I had a wonderful Mother's Day. I talked to my mom and was pampered by my sweet family. I arranged this bunch of Gerbera daisies on Mother's Day. I just love the gorgeous color. Of course, I can't just sit the flowers on the counter to enjoy - I must paint them first! An old-fashioned Ball jar is the perfect complement and the napkin shows off the subtle blue color of the glass.

Floral Still Life on Canvas by Jill Saur

"I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn't say any other way, things I had no words for".  - Georgia O'Keeffe This is "Joyful Encounter".  This vibrant floral still life is an acrylic painting on canvas that measures 36"x36".  This piece has an abundant amount of texture because aside from my brush, I've used my palette knife to apply thick paint. I have been deeply inspired from the masters of the past who used rich brushstrokes to portray their art.  Paul Cezanne and Vincent Van Gogh are two of the masters that come to mind whose work I  admire. This painting is available to purchase by either contacting me through my website or visiting Matilda's Art Gallery in Historic Roswell, GA.  Thank you for viewing! - Jill Saur My website:  CLICK HERE
