Geranium Deja-vu
The day after painting "Four O'clock Geraniums" the flowers were still fresh, and I loved the entire set-up, so why not paint the whole thing? My favorite parts are the arching stems and fallen petals and bits. I'd be interested to know which one you like best, yesterday's or today's. By the way, if I spelled deja-vu wrong, please tell me. I looked it up in my 1970 pocket dictionary, and it wasn't there. Imagine that!

Four O'Clock Geraniums
You might ask what does a clock have to do with a jar of flowers? I don't know, but I liked the combo of colors, the glass face with the glass jar and other stuff. It may be a bit odd to have it down in the corner, but maybe it makes the painting interesting being obviously part of a larger scene. We have a heavy cloud cover here today so the photo is not the best, and a bit blurry too.
Two of my favorite subjects here, that old clock and flowers.

Golden Hours, Yellow Flowers
oil on canvas panel 8x8 inches
Lately I've been working on my whites. White is so cold out of the tube, so I wanted to work on warm whites and near whites so that any pure white highlights added at the end really sparkle. In the near future I'll post some of my other recent paintings with white surfaces and objects. I find it easier to paint glass than white objects...nothing is really pure white except the sparkle on extremely shiny surfaces...and even those are often influenced by the light temperature and color of the object. Anyway, I'm really proud of this painting with it's variety of whites, the dappled light on the clock, the pattern of foliage and negative shapes.
