SOLD -"Strut Your Stuff"

"Strut Your Stuff" 12x12" oil on canvas
This beautiful, bright-sunny floral arrangement was recently sent to my husband (first time he ever received flowers). I totally fell in love with the colors and started painting it immediately but then kept getting pulled away for one reason or another. Each time I went back to work on it, the flowers got a little droopier. By the end of the week, all of the flowers were faded and several had fallen off their stems. Thus, I was left to finish painting it from memory—which was not a bad thing—as it forced me to work quick and not overwork it. I do love the loose abstract quality.

This painting is sold but will be on exhibit at The Linda Watson Gallery in Conroe during the month of May. 

Thank you for viewing my painting

"Tulip Trap" 6x6"

"Tricky Tulips" 6x6" oil on museum quality canvas panel

Click to Purchase

These tumultuous tulips were awful models and totally uncooperative pranksters who tried every trick in the book yesterday. Their favorite trick was to make little moves every time I'd look away for a moment or two. No matter how quickly I'd turn back, I never could quite catch them in the act. Before I began my painting they were standing upright and pretending to be so stately and stoic but by the time I finished they had inched their way into totally different poses. The little rascal on the right managed a near 180 degree turn slouching his way down the side of the vase. Now, these same sly not-to-be-trusted tulips are standing tall again...and looking oh SO innocent!
