After a lovely bridal luncheon, I snagged these bright roses and the tall crystal vase and painted them larger than life. They were in full bloom and looked so strong on their own that I decided not to include the other flowers. I think it all felt grounded when the cloth became blue.

Inspired by pink! Gladeolas are architecturally interesting in composing a painting. This salmon color is one of my favorites, and I was excited to see these bright blooms at the market. The apples scattered at the base are the perfect balance for this strong flower.

Most of my paintings begin in the abstract. Sometimes I decide to stay there. Each stroke becomes a play or move and the game is to work with each one as a base for the next. Sometimes these abstracts begin to take a shape or form like the shapes you see in the clouds. I find working in the abstract more of a challenge than painting to copy a still life or landscape that I am actively observing.

No rumor - it was real! Scott and I scored phenomenal seats in Vegas to see Adele. It was AMAZING. What a show! For weeks, I had been listening to Adele in my studio to make sure I was prepped. This painting of zinnias and figs was a fun super-layered painting inspired by Adele belting it out in the background.

Dahlias are a bright spot in hot August. I have many friends who are prize-winning dahlia growers. Lucky Me! The blooms on these exotic flowers range from small buttons to flashy, giant, feathery blooms. I love how the colors interplay between the various varieties that make these beauties so much fun to paint.
