August Roses
This painting is for the "Rose Bush" Challenge at DPW. I hadn't entered any challenges before this one - the quality and elegance of the photo for the challenge inspired me and prompted me to enter. Painting today was unusual because 99% of my works are from life, so it was a fun experience.

Evening Lily
I painted these lilies in my garden yesterday. The evening sun was soft and warm. As I was sitting, all alone, amidst my garden flowers and other plants, I felt such harmony and unity with the surrounding nature - the gentle evening wind, the slowly setting sun, the buzz of many insects. And, at the same, time I was in a rush to finish the painting before it gets dark. So, I was in two conflicting moods. By the way, this size (6x8) is new to me, since they have only started selling boards of this size in Dick Blick Art Materials.

Blossoms By The Window
I had begun to set up the vase, flowers, and background in early morning for painting, but when I casually placed the blossoms on the windowsill, I saw how nicely the sun reflected through the branches, and decided to leave the vase where it was.

Asters in a Vase
This weekend my husband, daughter, and I visited our friends at their country-house. While looking through their garden, I spotted these pretty asters growing as wildflowers near the fence. So these flowers went from being lowly weeds to featured asters on my painting. :)

Nasturtium from my Garden
I was painting plein air in my garden today. It was a very beautiful day, warm and peaceful after all the cold rainy days we had in July. I took a picture of my setup and the place where I was working. This easel is 25 years old -I used it in college.
Have good weekend! And thanks for your interest!
