Wisdom of the Iris

 What is it about the Iris that feels so regal and wise? The elegant colors, complimentary veining and swooping curve of the petals and leaves are a painters dream. I imagined this one as a woodcut print and painted it to have that feel.

Life Intertwined •ON HOLD

 The interdependence of flowers, birds and insects is fascinating. Observing a hummingbird pulling nectar from a flower feels me with awe. With this painting I was trying to show the same hummingbird in motion as it drinks from a phlox bloom.

Spring in Green and White

 This spring has been a good one for blooms and leaves and anything that grows well with water. I could probably spend a year just painting blooms. I confess, I haven't figured out exactly what type of blooms I have painted here. This is more about the feeling of spring-time and fresh starts.

Willow Midge •SOLD

 I took a photo of beautiful dancing leaves framing a cone and have been looking forward to painting it. Something about the layers of leaves had a wonderful movement to it. After painting the piece I asked my husband what I was painting. It turns out that the cone is called a gull and the leaves are from a willow. A midge could hatch out of the cone. Isn't that fascinating? Nature is so inspiring.
