New Florals Fall 2014




I guess I really enjoy painting flowers. These are my 3 latest attempts.  Roses, of course, are special flowers for me.  My mother has a decent sized rose garden that she and everyone else tended religiously.  She had some beautiful roses.  I especially remember the deep, deep red one.  I wish I remembered the name of that one.  Also both my mother and mother-in-law were named Rose!

Cally lilies I think are beautiful.  Of course, I can't look at one and not think of Katherine Hepburn. Every imitator used the line, "The cally lilies are in bloom again."

I found the picture of the yellow lilies on the internet.  I think that one came out well, thanks to my new teacher, Susan Winter.  I must admit that I've learned quite a lot from her in the past couple of months. She's an excellent teacher.
