Sheila's Sunflowers

Not For Sale
10"x8" Oil on canvas board.

Actually, these are Mom's birthday sunflowers, but the painting is for my sister, Sheila.  Sheila made the vase and the little jar.  You may recognize the platter as Lorie's signature work.  I came home with some nice pottery pieces!  Thank you, sisters!

Mom's Birthday Bouquet


8"x8" Oil on canvas board.  Not For Sale

What a busy summer!  I have not posted in a few weeks due to several welcome visits from family and a trip to visit my family in Dallas (without my computer!)  This painting, and the next two, were done with a little oil kit I am leaving with my family so that I can paint while visiting.  I paint for them, and I leave with beautiful pottery pieces made by my sisters . . . a good thing we've got going!  I was forced to really think about color mixing, as the kit did not include all from my palette - a good exercise.  

These flowers are from a beautiful bouquet given to my mother (on the occasion of her 82nd birthday) by her #1 grandson, Chad.  The little vase is a creation by my sister, Lorie.  The painting is my birthday gift.  Happy Birthday, Mom!
