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.

MEETUP

6"X6"
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.

MORNING JONQUIL

6"X6"
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.

TULIP TIME

6"X6"
OIL ON PANEL

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

PRICE $100
6"X6"
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.

THE HIGHROAD
