White Tulips with Carnation


Yippee-- the local grocery store had tulips again.  This year end post gives me another opportunity to wish everyone a  Happy New Year!

Balanced Feather


Here is the last of the feather series.  Thought I would attempt the downy feather one more time.  These are essentially the same elements as the last post just rearranged.  (note to self-- buy some fresh flowers and/or fruit.)  :-}

Hope everyone's holiday season is going well.  And if I don't talk to you before January 1, best wishes for a healthy and happy new year.

Feather with Eggshells


A continuation of the turkey feather theme….this time to see if I could capture the fuzzy quality of the downy portion of this feather.

Feather with White Cup



I am always finding turkey feathers in the yard; almost daily a flock wanders across the back.  In the spring, a tom turkey struts his stuff for hours on the lawn.  It seemed an appropriate time to pair a turkey feather and a single cranberry.  Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Red Apples


I seem to be into "red" recently.  Perhaps it is the subliminal effect of the approaching holidays.

Green Can Opener


This can opener came from the huge Brimfield, Massachusetts antique show which I visited for the first time in September.  It was too cute not to paint.

Tulips


This was the same bunch of tulips used for the last painting after they had begun to open.   After the painting, they went back into the fridge and weeks later still look great.  They make me smile when I reach in there for milk!

Three Tulips



I found these pretty pink tulips in the grocery store.  Thought tulips were only available in the spring so it was a nice surprise.

White Roses with Lemons


See, no hydrangeas..although there are a couple of white hydrangea paintings drying.  Sorry for the delay in posting-- part of the time was spent at a Kim English workshop--Figures in the Landscape.  There was a bit of the boot camp experience that others have described except I can't imagine boot camp being so much fun.

Hydrangeas with Pears


Last of the hydrangea series (at least temporarily.)  For some unknown reason, the deer are leaving this one bush alone but have decimated all the others.

Hydrangea, Lemon and Cherry


Still painting hydrangea blossoms because they are free.  There is one more hydrangea painting, then I will move on-- I promise.

Hydrangea with Lemon


I thought I would paint some hydrangea blossoms before the deer got to them.

Zinnia


Happy, hot, humid summer.  Set up a temporary studio in my basement--- so much cooler and the flowers last so much longer!

Two Carnations




Carnations again; this time with a rather fanciful color interpretation.

White Carnations


Out of interest, I looked up white carnations which apparently symbolize pure love and are associated with Mother's Day.  Just happenstance that Mother's Day is this weekend.

Museum Visit, Picasso


After the last cool blue painting, I decided to go to the opposite extreme.  Our museum visitor stands before Picasso's Woman Plaiting Her Hair.

Time


Time is passing slowly waiting for the snow plows to arrive.  Official snowfall for our town from the blizzard-- 40 inches.
