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."

Hill Quote

I found a quote about making quality artwork. In this case, Adrian Hill is talking about trees. He writes, “a tree is painted to…express his [the artist] appreciation for it,” He wrote a book, On Drawing and Painting Trees. People often paint things, seeing they are beautiful and decide to depict that beauty. This photo is from Amazon.

The Tomato Plant

This depicts a tomato plant, growing in my backyard.  I used the red tomatoes to create an artistic triangle.  I love using color to create a beautiful composition.  It is acrylic, measuring 11" x 14."
