Iris

1. Finished the Poppies on to the Iris...This of course is the first block in--I haven't made up my mind but I think they will be white---however i may decide lavender--who knows what mood I will be in when I can finally get back to my Iris--I was excited to start this but knew I wouldn't have time to finish today..... Happy painting everyone!!!!
Keep in mind this is just the beginning--it hopefully will get better.

2. Oh my goodness, I put the undercoat and it is getting uglier if that is possible---I kept going and will post cause I can't leave you here with this!!

Poppy Fields Forever

Quick fun little painting.
12x12
Love Poppies....
Actually the full story is that I changed this little painting many, many times ( I mean I totally changed colors backround-everything) Then yesterday somehow I got it the way I wanted it! :-) So it was easy, quick  and fun when it came together! lol

Kansas Sunnies

I am posting this again as I totally repainted the flowers and the forground and I am so very much happier. I left the old version on here and will prob delete it later. This is one that i have redone several times  and I finally think this will be the last time. 18x24
$375 Paypal excepted--if interested contact me.
Happy painting

Old Fashioned Roses

Here is the finished version of my painting . I tried to refine the roses after I lived with it (and posted it)--I cannot see my changes until I post for some reason. I tried to post this beside the first one (below) but it did not work so I am posting separately  --not too good on the computer . (I notice the colors are much truer on the background on  this photo, however, the roses are more subtle in real life) Oh well you can't win!

2013--Happy Painting, Happy life.....
Here it is Sept and i redid the roses-AGAIN! shhhh don't tell anyone ! lol

Old Fashioned Roses (WIP)

Last painting of 2012
Old Fashioned Roses (WIP)
18x24
When my daughter saw this she remarked --oh I like this one--it looks old fashioned--so name stuck--this is not quite done but almost there.

HOLLY HOLLY

I think I am finished--Of course these are Hollyhocks but being 2 days before Christmas, I like Holly Holly for the name--what do you think? This was fun to paint---I really strung it out- and painted it more in my head than anything  else but finally got my painting that was in my head onto my canvas. 10x20 $300 plus s&h
Have a Very Merry Christmas! My Hollyhocks wish you well. 

Holly Holly (still on the easel )

Just a beginning , 1st or actually 2nd pass--I wanted to post this before I worked more on this little painting. I love these "old-fashioned" flowers. I am working from pictures that I have gathered thru the years to do this as I am painting this in December. Please realize this is in the "ugly" stage, (i'm sure I did not need to tell you) It can only get better--anyway that is what I have in mind. I think I like to show at this stage so that the finished stage will look better---lol--you know show ugly the the less ugly will be prettier! You know it goes with something seems bad till something worse happens! It's all in your perspective.
But we will see if this works out--if it doesn't it will dissapear mysteriously--hohoho
Merry Christmas
