Two Carnations in a Glass Jar


The carnations lasted beautifully and I managed to get several paintings.  This is the last for a while; now I have flowers in the yard clamoring for my brush.   The painting is a closeup of a simple bouquet with only part of the glass jar visible. I like the bright stiff red flowers against the gray background. I like the dark gray and how it contrasts dramatically with the light green of the flowers and stems. Painted from a still life I set up in my studio.

White Crocus, Jelly Jar on Gray

The white crocus are over, this is the last in the series and it's time for daffodils.  I like the intense top light which makes the tabletop such a lovely yellow green.

Two Crocus, Jelly Jar, on Green

Inspired by the single crocus painting,  I hunted for a few more crocus and tried a different shape jar.  I like the lights and darks in the petals; warm in the light and cool in the shadow.
