Of course I had to paint some flowers this summer! It's such a joy for me to set out my hanging baskets and deck planters and try to tame my wild gardens around my farm home. That labour of love is very similar to painting the scene on a canvas! I picked these two beauties to paint, on 12 by 12 gallery canvases.
"White Tulips" was painted from a lovely bouquet a friend of mine gave me early in the summer. I just loved the way these tulips gradually leaned over and pointed towards me.

This geranium was in a basket that has hung near my front porch where I see it as I drive up the lane. The colour takes my breath away! To capture that orangey-red in a painting is not easy, but I think I achieved it this time.
