Day 118 Roses

Roses (oil on canvas board, 8 x 10") was painted in less than 1/2 hour as a demonstration painting during my Wednesday afternoon Senior Coastsiders art class. For the first time, I set up a still life from which we all painted. Go to my sister blog called Coastside Artists to see some of the student's work. http://coastsideartists.blogspot.com/

Day 39 Red Flowers

I painted Red Flowers (watercolor, 8 x 5") from Eric's book again today. I love his work; it reminds me so much of Evelyn.

Day 17 Calla Lilies

Calla Lilies (oil, 20" x 16") was Eleanor's idea. She cut the flowers in the yard and arranged them in the vase. The blue velvet is left over from the shadow box from Clay's uncles.

I've never painted a still life in oils before; this was my first attempt. I have to say that I really enjoyed it. I almost feel that I was sculpting the flowers, rather than painting them.
