When I Think of You

"When I Think of You"

24" x  18", Oil on Stretched Canvas

It's been a while since I've blogged and I'm out of practice but I feel I need to.  This is a painting I did last year from a photo.  The photo featured different colored flowers but that's where a bit of artistic license takes over.  

I have been printing calendars for the past few years for sale at the end of the year.  This painting is featured as my May painting for 2020.  If you'd like to be notified of when my 2021 calendars will be offered, please visit my website and join my mailing list or like me on Facebook.  Links below.

Strawberries and Peonies is the newest painting in Flower Mound Studio, a little daily responding to my need for bright real vibrant and living color. I always remember the times, the music, the circumstances that occur when I look at paintings over the years, even into the future. Someday I will remember this bouquet as the celebration the day before my sister Julie's wedding. If you have ever wondered is prayers are answered, the answer is, sometimes, yes. I have been praying every night for over 10 years that my little sister would find someone who loves and adores her as she deserves. Tomorrow she and her husband to be will say an oath, and someone will smile down, or laugh, or chuckle just a bit, at the persistence of one sister on behalf of another. Persevere. Keep dreaming. Keep asking and keep praying. Even if it takes 10 years, you may, one day, be quite pleasantly surprised.

Given Day Peonies is the debut of my new little blue Ball Jar, which was delivered along with five matching brethren in a box Saturday morning. I was so excited to get my new clear blue jars, and then in the grocery store today, noticed a whole shelf filled with them. I purposely avoided looking at the price tag! No sense crying over unnecessary shipping charges, since it's all water under the bridge...

Peony Panoply was my class demonstration for a workshop in North Texas today. The fresh peonies from the supermarket held up long enough for one more day under the spotlight, and my students and I painted pink peonies step by step together in the afternoon.  I love to see how each student's individual style unfolds throughout the afternoon as they paint from fresh flower setups. I always encourage them not to lose their own voice, but to incorporate only those items from the workshop that will work best with their own individual approach to painting. One thing everyone seemed to have in common was love for bright color and a desire to paint with large, loose brushstrokes. The message I shared most today: Paint with a bigger brush. I use a 3/4 inch flat brush for the entire painting. Here are some detail images of my demonstration today. Visit my art blog to see images of my class and their paintings today.
