Giclee Prints on Etsy

This is my favorite still life. I really like the reflections of the bottle on the vase and the vivid pink of the roses.

The original of this painting will be available at my April show in Middleburg, Virginia.

A rose is a rose is a hard thing to paint. My painting group had two different bouquets to choose from and I started with the entire rose bouquet until I got hold of myself and narrowed it down to these.

After my fantasy flower that I posted earlier, this small painting is very traditional. It's sentimental enough to be a Valentine's Day gift. I really think that it's easier to paint a rose petal-by-petal than to do a softer, looser version like this. 

Our painting group had a lovely day Monday at Jetty Park at the port. Sometimes it inspires us to change it up a bit and sketch in our journals or take pictures for future paintings. The weather was perfect and exhilarating. Here are a couple of my sketch journal pages. Pelican paintings are in my future.
