The iris is one of my favorite flowers and they come in so many sizes and colors now. I have a beautiful canary yellow one that I hope to paint later.

OIL ON CANVAS PANEL

This is one of those compositional things that go unnoticed at the beginning of a painting. The two tomatoes on the plate mirroring each other just sort of happened. But the painting was 90% finished before I noticed so I just went with it.

OIL ON CANVAS

This is my entry for the Daily Paintworks Challenge this week. In this painting I have used a triad for the color scheme, red, blue and yellow. It seems to be a color scheme that I automatically gravitate to when I'm setting up a still life.

It is officially spring and most of the bulbs are either blooming or soon will be. I feel the urge to visit the garden center and look at all those bright, colorful plants.

PURPLE ORCHID

OIL ON CANVAS PANEL

This orchid is one of probably hundreds at FRANKLIN CONSERVATORY in Columbus, OH. I have no idea what type of orchid it is but it was certainly beautiful to see. If you live in OH, it is worth a visit anytime of year. I started this painting on a bright yellow background. The same color I use sometimes as an underpainting for landscapes.
