Orange Tulips

I'll admit it, I paint tulips when I want the satisfaction of finishing a painting quickly. Today, the tulips are orange since I had a bit of orange paint leftover from another project.

I like playing with the highlights and shadows, but I've made a promise to myself to give them a break for a little while. Have a close up...

Sunset Upon Field

Purple, green, orange, and blue are some of my favorite colors. Actually, most of my wardrobe is either black, purple, teal blue, green, or orange. A little red. Some grey. Virtually no white, yellow, and brown.

 So if I found a scarf in the colors of this painting, I'd do a happy dance. Have a close up...

Some paintings I finish with a "Meh." Others feel like an accomplishment. The rest are just joy.
This one was a joy! Have a close up...

Mini Sweeping Sunset

Originally, I was going to title this one "Sweeping Sunset," but that gives the impression of something on a grand scale. So it became...

Lone Tree at Sunset

I decided to take a few weeks off to enjoy the last days of spring before summer was in full throttle. I don't regret it since now it's hot, hot, hot. Let's think about a cooler place today.
