Bluebells

Bluebells J and L and MWe go to the Dog Park almost every morning and for the last week or so the Bluebells have been blooming along the path by the river leading to the park.  It’s beautiful.

Of course my “kids” like to take a look and a sniff and sometimes they aren’t so gentle so flowers get smushed.   So yesterday when they trampled some I picked them up and put them in a vase when we got home and took them to art class.

This is the little painting that I did inspired by the Bluebells.  They are happy, sweet little flowers.

Celebrating 100 Years at Wrigley Field

Wrigley Field Home of the Chicago Cubs

Home of the Chicago Cubs

Wrigley Field, home of the Chicago Cubs, turns 100 today.

When asked last year while I was painting the Kickstarter project – Painted Diamonds what is my favorite ball park to go see a ball game I said Wrigley Field.  If you haven’t been there you really have to go if you like baseball.  It’s a ball park – not a stadium.  It has an intimate feel about it.  According to where you sit you may have to lean around posts to see.  I love Wrigley.  It’s a great old park.

Happy Birthday Wrigley!

Touched Up the Geraniums

Posted in Flowers, tagged , , , , , , , on April 17, 2014| 2 Comments »

CAM07564A few days ago I posted Geraniums in the Window (see it here) and said that I needed to touch it up a little  more.  I did that last night.  I darkened the shadow under the window and added some texture to the wall.  Also, I hit the flowers with a little more light.  Now it’s finished.

Geranium in the Window Sill

Posted in daily painter, Flowers, tagged , , , , on April 12, 2014| Leave a Comment »

IMG_20140405_222838I got a good start on this Geranium sitting in the window sill this past week.  I haven’t been able to complete it yet but hopefully I will find some time in the next few days and then I can show you a finished painting.   For all my painting students – can you see what’s missing?  Maybe a shadow under the window ledge?  And some weathering on the walls.  Heavier shadowing on the window frame…..and on and on.  😉

Turner Field Atlanta Braves

Baseball season has started and this year it feels really strange not to be painting the MLB parks like I was doing last year all during the season.  My Kickstarter project – Painted Diamonds was a lot of fun but kept me busy for 6 months painting those parks.  (Read all about it and see the paintings here.)

If you have a favorite team you can check the Painted Diamonds page to see if that painting is still available or order a print of your favorite field.
