What joy! I love the pink candy-stripe of the peony's outermost petal... isn't it gorgeous?

One and the Same

I am playing around with flowers on patterned backgrounds, challenging myself to make a distinction between the real flower and the flower pattern while keeping both soft and impressionistic. 

These are cherry blossoms against a William Morris pattern, because his colours are absolute perfection:

Tulpenmanie

I've always been curious about the tulip mania in The Netherlands during the 17th century: the dramatic tales of connoisseurs and collectors and cash-grabs, the spectacular boom and bust of the bulb bubble, and the fact that the beauty of the most prized variety, the Semper Augustus, was the result of a virus that eventually killed it. The possibility that some or all of these accounts are apocryphal only piques my interest all the more -- tulips bulbs were used as currency, and the stories about them grew and spread and mutated over hundreds of years.

Anyway, here's some gorgeous falling-down tulips I painted for my solo show at Rona Painting Gallery in Jericho this summer:

Flight of Fancy

 This poppy was the palest pink you can imagine, and confounded my attempts to capture its delicacy. It's like a flighty fairy.

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.

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.

Me, Myself, and I

I get completely lost painting peonies... it's like falling under a spell.

 

I love the movement of this trio, how they go from bud, to blooming, to exploded. The drama of those petals!

By Any Name

I loved the look of this slightly wilted rose, even though the piece looks more melancholy than I’d intended. I think flowers have the most character when they’re past their prime.

Where You Belong

I grew this nasturtium from a seed last summer, it's one of maybe three that survived out of about 20 seeds. Growing things takes so much patience! I had to celebrate by putting it in this pretty golden pot.
