"Crocus" Original Oil Spring Flower Painting by Hallie Kohn

When I think of spring, crocus is one of the first bulbs that comes to mind.

"Allium Lusitanicum" Original Oil Painting by Hallie Kohn Art

These ornamental onions are one of my favorites, blooming here mid to late summer. One plant grows in a cluster of about 20 flowers and are a much smaller variety, a bit larger than a ping pong ball. The interesting thing about this plant is that it is a perennial instead of a bulb and flowers for much longer.

This is the fourth time I've painted alliums, but the first time I've done so with a brush.

"Crocus" Original Oil Palette Knife Painting by Hallie Kohn Art

The spring teasing has begun here in Southern Wisconsin. The snow has nearly vanished, and I just know all of the bulbs will be breaking through the ground soon. A warmer day here and there gives hope, but also builds impatience. This has been the coldest winter I can ever remember having with about a months worth of below zero days.

There is nothing I look forward to more than seeing a little color outside.

PURPLE HAYCINTH IN OILS by OLGA WAGNER

This painting follows the one from yesterday. Actually I completed both paintings yesterday, one after the other. First, I played with acrylics to loosen myself up a bit and then proceeded with the oils.

This is such an incredibly soothing color combination. The purples and blues against the delicate nature of naples yellow works so well together...
