Two Gardenias

(Click on the thumbnail for a larger image)

Since moving to the South, I have the pleasure of growing gardenias. Actually, the bushes came with the house we bought, my first attempt to grow them was unsuccessful. I think these current plants have been around long enough to withstand my best intentions. The scent of the gardenia is very soothing and a few in a vase will fill the room with their intoxicating aroma. No wonder the perfume and candle companies try to replicate their smell.

Bromeliads #1

(Click on the thumbnail for a larger image)

This painting is based on a photo taken at a craft fair in Cocoa Village, Florida. The vendor had a colorful display of bromeliads, all shapes and sizes. Fortunately for me, they are hardy enough to withstand my gardening expertise!

Iris #2

(Click on the thumbnail for a larger image)

As a child growing up I was never really fond of the Iris. It wasn't until much later, when I had a home of my own, that to my surprise, when spring came the Iris arrived. Now I live in an area of the country that is way too warm to grow them. My solution is to paint them!

Lacy Lady

The airplant is elegant and dainty. The color is a beautiful grey green and the shape of the leaves are graceful and fluid.

Magnolia #1

(Click on the thumbnail for a larger image)

Growing up in the North, I'd heard about Magnolias, but had never seen them. When I did I was hooked. The creamy white flowers contain an array of other hues from the reflections of the sky and the foliage around them.

Miss Ruby

The splashy red Hibiscus is the star of the show in this painting. The deep amethyst center spills out into brilliant red down the petals that stand out is contrast to the deep green leaves. With an almost year round blooming cycle, the hibiscus fills our yards with outburst of red and pink.

PopTop #1

(Click on the thumbnail for a larger image)

Looking at something from a different vantage point is a way to produce interesting artwork. Here a flowering bromeliad is captured looking straight into the multi-layered pink bloom.

PopTop #2

(Click on the thumbnail for a larger image)

Here is a side view of the same bromeliad. Notice the tiger-like stripes on the leaves and how the blossom has spiked petals. Many times the blossom hides down in the center of the leaves with only the very top tips visible from the side. Truly a sight to seek out.

Silver Bowl Hibiscus

(Click on the thumbnail for a larger image)

One of the challenges of painting anything silver is to capture the color. Silver in itself has very little, but the reflected light and the images mirrored on the surface bring a wide range of color to the object. Painting so that the silver shines forces you to go slowly and really think about what the next step will be.

Bromeliads #2

(Click on the thumbnail for a larger image)

While at a fair in downtown Cocoa Village, the ware of the bromeliad vendor caught my eye. When in bloom, bromeliads can take on striking, strong colors that last for months.

Small Bromeliad

(Click on the thumbnail for a larger image)

I love the color red and just could not resist painting this vivid bromeliad. The blossom is short and stocky. The petals start out bright yellow and rapidly change to a fiery red. This one is an eye catcher!

Tropical PM

(Click on the thumbnail for a larger image)

The shape is what first caught my eye. I was on a break from a workshop and driving by, thought I saw what looked like a plant with sword like spikes shooting out. On the way back to class I stopped for a look. Grabbing my camera I took many photos and then started the process of designing the painting. Besides the shape, what appealed to me was the wide variety of colors and the unusual cast shadows.

Waterlilies

(Click on the thumbnail for a larger image)

In our area, ponds, water features and waterlillies are very popular. At the local ACE Hardware store, which is our pond and water lily central, there are hundreds of varieties in all shades, colors and sizes. There is something soothing about sitting and watching these beautiful flowers float effortlessly on quiet waters. How can anything be so beautiful without any apparent effort? I don't know, but I really enjoy taking the time to figure this out.

Plastic Tiger

(Click on the thumbnail for a larger image)

This piece is painted on Yupo, which is a plastic film normally used for commercial signage. Painters have discovered it and love the unusual textures that result when paint hits the slick surface. Yupo is a brilliant white, so the pigments keep a very intense hue. On Yupo, the humble Tiger Lily takes on brilliant colors and textures.

Kiss The Son

(Click on the thumbnail for a larger image)

Kiss the Son was done for my daughter while she was in college. She had to bug her mother for a long time to get a painting. The old saying the shoemaker's kids go barefoot applied here. Finally, she got her painting and it was a sunflower which thrilled her completely. The title is a reminder to her to stay close to her God and as she does, His favor will be upon her.

Red Bromeliad

(Click on the thumbnail for a larger image)

Curvaceous leaves that go from brilliant yellow to fiery red form the bloom of this bromeliad. Short and compact, this blossom could be hid away among the foliage if you weren't looking for it. Testimony to the fact that sometimes beautify hides in the least obvious places.
