OVERLAP

6"X8"

OIL ON CANVAS PANEL

PRICE $100

I'm finally back to blogging. My daughter-in-law and I decided to take part in a neighborhood garage sale last week. It was held on the two hottest days of the year, so far. This was my first garage sale and it was exhausting. I'm still tired.

For this painting I decided to try a small circular composition of flowers from my garden. I like the movement and pattern created by overlapping the flowers and leaves.

BEGONIA SOLD

6"X6"

OIL ON MUSEUM BOARD

PRICE $100

This begonia is from a protected area so it was not killed by our recent frost. I find these flowers a little tricky to paint since there are many nuances of colors that are hard to replicate. The petals are iridescent in some areas. Each time I paint them I squeeze out paint colors that are normally not on my palette, looking for the perfect color. I'm still looking!
