Flower in a Vase


I painted Flower in a Vase. First I painted everything in bright colors, but I wanted it to look old so I added brown on top of the bright colors.  It gives it an antique feel.  The paint is built up as well.  Both techniques differentiate this painting from a photograph of a flower. It is much larger than my other works.  It is 30" x 24."

Wetland Water

This painting is titled Wetland Water .  Dirt banks the water in the foreground.  Further back the grass is growing out of the water.  Throughout the painting, there are a variety of browns.  Part of the water is green and orange.  I added it because I love adding colors to water. Wetland Water is an acrylic painting that measures 16” x 20.”  Contact marnismith922@gmail.com for details.
