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...
