Brighter Days

I tried to keep the brushstrokes loose and unfussy in this one, focusing more on the light and colour. Is there anything more lively than pink and green? A bright painting to keep you going through the winter.

Kitchen Table

The crazier the news gets, the calmer my paintings, for some reason. Why paint a house plant? asked my critical brain while I was working on this piece. 

 Because. Because watching things grow is a powerful antidote.

Summer Sky

I did exactly one plein air painting in Michigan over the summer... most of the time I was playing in the water and sand, but on this day the clouds were too glorious to ignore -- they already looked like brushstrokes!

Slow Motion

 I wanted to capture the buds in the process of opening up, but of course they do that while you're not looking. Still, this one feels like I managed to suspend one sweet moment in time.

Heart on My Sleeve

The trick with peonies is NOT to try to render every last petal... but it's so easy to get lost in there. Dreamy.

Peonies in Illy Can

Ok technically not a "daily" painting since it took a week or so to finish this one... by the end of it I felt like the blossom in the front was going to eat me alive.

Wishful Thinking

I bought a bouquet of peonies and tried to paint the buds before they exploded into blossom, but these pink petal explosions wait for NO ONE. This one had a particularly feisty personality, which came out in loose bright brushstrokes.

Pretty Please

 I saw this frilly pink carnation at my friend's house and snapped a pic... it was impossible to capture the softness of the petals, but I had fun trying. Also loved the little glass medicine jar, something about the scale and the shape is so evocative.

Afternoon

I couldn't resist the graceful arc of this cluster of blossoms, or the deep velvety purple of the flowers.

Narcissus

 The white blossoms looked so stunning against the charcoal grey wall, especially with that dramatic shadow. Loved playing with the transparency of the petals.

White Lilac

I could practically smell this lilac blossom, even though I was working from a photo. Dreaming of summer days ahead...
