Rose Joy

8"x8"Oil on gessoboard

I started this painting nearly a month ago and have now finished it after being sick with a virus for nearly three weeks!! I am still finding it hard to get motivated to paint...maybe next week! I haven't painted a lot of roses...  this beautiful pink one was given to me by my very good friend so it had to be painted!!

Red Onions

8"x8" Oil on board

These red onions came from the market, I don't often see them with the roots still attached like this...so it was a lucky find! They look like they have beards...fun to paint!! I liked the strong shadow the light created and muted reflection from my gray glass palette.

Daffodil Duet

8"x8" Oil on board

It's not spring in this part of the world yet, but my friend gave me these two daffodils from her garden. It was a nice reminder that the warmer weather is not far away! I find yellow one of the hardest colors to paint...so...I had to have a go!! I think I liked the initial block in best.... always hard not to over work...but here it is!
