Studio Flowers

I placed this grocery store bunch next to the north facing window in my new space. Thought I'd try painting by natural light indoors. I liked the red and white flowers against the neutral walls behind. Usually florals tend to be high key paintings, so perhaps this is an unconventional approach, but there's something about it I like. It looks better in person...the red violet flowers are really beautiful...not blackish! I don't know what my camera does to my darks!

I love painting this little amber bottle. The golden glow makes me think of honey. That's a baby lemon, so the bottle really is small.

Red Floral

Here's my little dining room centerpiece for 4th of July. The crimson reds with the blue-green jar looked so luscious I had to paint it. Even the wall behind my set-up happened to be blue-green. It's the Munsell color wheel at work again...the opposite of red being a warm blue instead of green.
