Passion Flower Buds!!!

Hi all!

Here's that passion flower I grew from seed. Gonna flower soon and I have been watching these flowers develop for the past few weeks. Now that we are going to CT for a few days, I fear the first flowers will bloom while the girls and I are gone!!! Good thing there are 11 other plants, all starting to show some flowers, so if I miss these two, I might still have more chances.

Exercise Quick Study

Hi everyone!

The other morning, I was trying to think of a quick painting subject I could do; a painting to paint under 4 hours. (I trying to paint a little, every day to get back into "shape".) Then I remembered all the photos I took the past couple months and found this one. Here's the reference photo I took this past Spring.

Here's the painting...

I think I REALLY need practice; especially simplifying backgrounds a bit more. But that is why I'm doing these quick pieces.

Growing Old With You

Hello again!

Don't these guys look like they are so comfortable together? Years of togetherness and unconditional support and partnership...

This painting is something a little different for me. It's a study of light and simple brushstrokes. The reference photo came from the Wetcanvas' Reference Library (the most wonderful copyright free library, available for artists)

I really enjoyed doing this piece and would like to try another study. Quick little 6x6 piece.

The Three Hydrangeas

Shade Garden

Well here's a garden that I never show and tend to neglect with the watering, because it's so shady.
