1247. Peach Cobbler (Study)

 

I really love the composition of this floral, which is a Farmgirl Floral arrangement, painted with permission.  I will be attempting to paint it  much larger, and I'm hopeful that it will work out.

1246. Juliette and Friends

 This was a real struggle.  I gave up.  There is no way to adequately represent the stunning Juliette rose.  It surely is one of Mother Nature's masterpieces

1245. The Poetry of Spring

 It is said that Springtime brings hope and joy.  With Easter just around the corner, I believe that's true.  There is an awakening in our gardens and in our spirits.  

Gratitude to Farmgirl Flowers for the inspiration for this painting.

1244. Pretty in Pink

 This is another LaTerre Market flower arrangement.  I loved the elegance of the arrangement and the simplicity of the colors.  Grateful for permission to use the photo as a reference.

1243. Adoring Spouse

 The daughter of a dear friend of mine recently became the owner of a lovely flower shop/market in Mequon, Wisconsin, La Terre.  Sally, who I've watched grow up and blossom, has an unbelievable talent for flowers and is one of Milwaukee's most gifted wedding florists.  She recently granted me permission to use La Terre's photos of floral arrangements as inspiration for my paintings.

This is Adoring Spouse, one of three floral arrangements sold as a group to celebrate three significant occasions, for instance Mother's Day, Birthday, Anniversary, etc.  I struggled with this painting because the arrangement was simply so beautiful that I felt I just couldn't do it justice.  I struggled because I didn't want to do it an injustice by reducing the detail of the gorgeous blooms, despite that being my goal.  I'll keep trying.

1242. Birthday Confetti

 My birthday was a few days ago, and in between calls from family and friends, I was able to do two favorite activities on my birthday--paint and read.  The splash of white paint or "confetti" was an afterthought to bring good luck in the coming year.

1241. Ingenuity

 Happy Friday! I've been continuing my exploration of simplifing floral paintings. It's very difficult as I am a detail conscious person. In "Ingenuity" I picked an unexpected color for the background--pink and yellow? Also am experimenting with a black glaze wiped back to give an aged look. Must try a sepia color next. Color is a little exaggerated--can't seem to get it right today.
