Color Inspiration: Purple Pansies & Orchids


A few of my iPhone "sketches".  I wanted to capture the vibrant colors & texture of these beautiful blooms.   The surfaces felt like sueded velvet.  I was really drawn to the delicate edges and their irregular yet perfect shape.   

These inspired the "Flower Portrait" painting below.

Late night in the Studio

I have been working all weekend in the studio getting ready for the show.  
A late night shot…pardon the dark lighting.  And of course, Delta decided to stroll  
by at the exact moment I was taking a photo.  :)

In the Studio: Flower Power

 Flowers = happiness.  My friend gave me an amazing bouquet as a gift  and I 
started obsessing about the colors as soon as I laid eyes on it.  It was drenched with 
an amazing range of pinks & purples with a perfect citron green thrown in.  Of course I 
dragged the flowers out to the studio to use as a color reference.

Works in Progress - May

Couple of super-bright paintings in progress!  
This winter was so drab, I started working in these very
saturated colors last month.  Sometimes you just have to
make your own sunshine, ya know?  :)

Commission Update

A few shots of the painting commission I am working on.  Starting to define &
clarify shapes beginning with the left side moving to the right.  (You can see the
left side of the canvas coming into focus while the right side is kind
of fuzzy & muted.)
