Apple Blossoms Square Glass Jar SOLD

Another painting of crabapple blossoms.  I started painting this and was interrupted.  The painting sat drying for two days and by the time I got back to it, the flowers were gone.  But I realized the painting, though barely started, was almost done.   I had done a good job of massing the darks and lights into large shapes.  It took only a few minutes of adding several flowers, a few petals and the details of the stamens and anthers and I was happy with the result.  It has a loose feeling because I didn't overwork it.   On my ETSY store

Daffodil Bouquet in Top Lght

A bouquet of yellow and white and orange and white daffodils for spring. We have hundreds of daffodils popping up; enough for weeks of painting.  The yellow-centered ones are fragrant and the small orange-centered ones are an old fashioned variety with multiple flowers on a single stem.   The strong top lighting enables me to group the white tones and simplify the composition.  I like the yellows against the gray-it's a lovely combination.  On my ETSY store
