INSPIRATION

This is one of my newest flower paintings.  I entered it into my art club's fall show, and it received an "Award Of Excellence", which is equivalent to a "First Place".

It is 16" x 20" oil on canvas

  5. Have you heard of Nancy Dahlstrom? She recently had an exhibition at the Eleanor D. Wilson Museum in Roanoke, VA. A lot of her featured work were paintings of flowers and plants. Your wonderful work reminds me of hers.

    Congratulations on the award!

  8. Your paintings are beautiful! I started painting area 50 years old. Have been away from it for a while, but getting back to it now. I have some questions. When you paint do you usually do an undercoat? This how I was taught. Also, I have one ly learned oil painting time g. But am considering doing some acrylic. What is your opinion on the 2 different mediums?

    1. Check around on this blog. You'll see that I most often begin my flower paintings with a very detailed, accurate, grisaille (gray) underpainting, over which I then apply many thin glazes of color.

  10. I use many brands of oil paint, but most recently either M. Graham, or those from The Art Treehouse, both of which are Walnut Oil based.
