Shimmer Blue

This is "Shimmer Blue" in my new Poppy Series. All the paintings so far in this series are larger, 16 x 20's.

The flowers just shimmer like sunlight on water. Unfortunately, this photo does not do the colors in the painting justice. I am planning to start on another one of these tonight. They are fun to paint because they are quite unstructured; the complete opposite of me.

Kathy's Bouquet

This is a flower bouquet I painted for a good friend just recently diagnosed with breast cancer. If you notice, many of the details I incorporated include the pink breast cancer ribbon in the flowers, vase, and border. It is part of the "Bouquet" series.
