Painting poppies
Lately I’ve been painting a lot of poppies and tulips. I was given a commission to paint red tulips and red poppies on separate canvases by a collector of mine, really sweet lady. Poppies are something I’ve painted often in the past. I’ll also mention that my friend Amelia, let me dig up some of…

Mother’s Day memories
Mother’s Day is this weekend and I hope you get to make some memories with friends and loved ones. I wanted to share some memories that Mother’s Day conjured up for me today. Other than me being a mom on this upcoming special day, I usually just think of my mom, not me when it…

Painting red tulips
Recently, I’ve had flowers on my easel. I’ve been painting red tulips and poppies plus other stuff but today I’ll just share the progression of the red tulips. First, I’d to thank anyone who has sent good vibes or prayers for my surgery. It was last Friday and this is Monday. The surgery went well…

Maybe all square paintings, maybe all floral, or a certain color scheme or in my case today all moons. I’ve painted in many different series like dreamscapes, floral…

Red Geraniums painting process
Red geraniums are one of those summer garden classics. My mom always grew them and I also grow them, I just love them. Add another classic to the mix, a terracotta pot, place them on the front porch with an American flag and well that to me is as American as apple pie. Nothing says…

Tree with birds nest painting process
Time really does go by so fast. It’s a good thing I constantly have my phone with a camera with me or I’d probably forget most everything that happens. Paintings for instance, I paint them, photograph the process, present them to my collectors list and social media as available and then move on to the…
