Spring in Texas

This painting is from a photo that was taken on the way to Fredricksburg last year. Plenty of bluebonnets on the hillside. I painted this as part of the expressive landscape class, trying to relax, and give the impression of flowers without painting each one. Now going to try my luck at an abstract landscape, which is harder than it should be.

Expressice Landscapes

I am really enjoying the e-course on Expressive Landscapes. Pauline Agnew is a wonderful teacher with so many 

creative ideas. I especially enjoyed the collages of the 4 elements to get our juices flowing.

Three generations of artists entered the Daffodil contest in Camden, AR
We ended up on the front page of the Camden News.

More flowers

Maybe posting lots of flowers will bring Spring on. I am tired of the freezing temperatures. This is a 20X20 canvas.  Love all the bright colors!

More Daffofils

I'm seeing daffodils in my sleep. Hard to take a picture after it is in the frame. I like the top one.

Love, Love, Love

Happy Valentines Day! I wrote this scripture a few years ago. It has the perfect message for today, and every day. 

Spring Daffodils

A couple of the daffodils that made the cut. We are getting ready to go to the Daffodil Festival in Camden, Arkansas in March. It is a 2 day festival,with many activities, including a historic home tour, daffodil tour, steak cook-off, art show and sale; we always have a great time. These are 2 of the smaller paintings for the sale;  working on a 1 or 2  larger ones also.
