947 Radiant Personality

Are you sick of this painting subject  yet?  This is the third go around, but it is a little larger than the previous two paintings at 12 x 12".  Pears are a classic favorite but I don't find them easy to paint.

On to something new.  Stay tuned.

842 Miranda, Sweet Sixteen

As mentioned in a previous post, I am taking a Flower Portrait painting class online.  The instructor primarily paints multi petaled flowers such as garden roses and peonies, which are not readily available this time of year to the average person in Milwaukee.  A dear friend's daughter is a flower artist who composes uniquely gorgeous arrangements for weddings and special occasions (see www.milwaukeeflowercompany.com) so I asked if she had any leftover flowers I could purchase.  I was invited to visit and in my wildest dreams I could never have expected to be offered such a large bucket of the most beautiful pink roses called Miranda.  Apparently, her supplier sent the wrong color for the wedding she was working on, and couldn't use them.  They only had a day or two left in them, so I had to work fast.  I am sure I did not do them justice with so many lovely ins and outs of the petals, but I hope I captured the essence of these beauties.

My Jean Wells bowl is getting quite a showing.

Yesterday Jean delivered my order of her meticulously crafted pottery.  Some people in my family will be happy to receive it.  (Shhhh....)  She has changed directions on her designs to appeal more to the "modern" set.   Check out her work at her Etsy store here:

Here sugar skull mugs are now sold at Colectivo Coffee.  Very cool.

505 Persimmon Trio

I enjoy painting these beautiful persimmons and hope they last many days' worth of paintings.
