Explosion of Pink

It has been a while, keeping up with art and a baby can be a difficult thing at times. However, I have some new art to put up being I finally got pictures of everything. This first one is a smaller acrylic than I usually do at only 10X10. I was having a lot of fun blending whites, reds, and pinks to make these pink flowers which I have decided to call "Explosion of Pink." I hope everyone enjoys them as much as I enjoyed the process of making them.

Poinsettia Card

I did this Poinsettia Card (4X6) watercolor one morning early after having to drop my car off at the mechanic shop. I produced it off of a picture while I was sitting outside on a bench waiting for an appointment. I have not had a lot of time to paint with a soon to be six month old little girl under foot, but each day I try as best I can. I actually made two of these paintings, and I totally did not like the first one so I destroyed it. This was the second attempt and I liked it much better. I gave it as a Christmas/thank you card.

Fuchsia Flower

This watercolor (5X7) that I gave as a present to a friend is a fun little Fuchsia Flower. This is the first time I painted this type of flower, but it was a fun little project. I framed this in a little plastic frame box. I often use this side postcards for cards, but this one I framed as a present.

Night Rose

I actually love this new Acrylic very much. It is an 11X14 which is smaller than I usually complete, but this is very similar to a watercolor that I did several years ago for a good friend of mine. This Acrylic has a similar look to, and I tried to give the background more of a watercolor fell. I love painting plants and floral scene, so it was a pleasure working on this one. It was up for a month at Art Awakenings Gallery in Tucson, AZ. I am thinking about sending up to the sister gallery in Phoenix.

Tucson Botanical Gardens

The other day, I went to the Tucson Botanical Gardens with my friend Keslea. I love the flowers there and we were early enough in the morning to beat the heat. This is the watercolor sketch that I did.

Botanical Garden Flower in Tucson

I went to the Botanical Gardens in Tucson this morning. I spent some time sketching the flowers and got to see the Tropical Butterflies before they leave for the season. I like this painting the most because it was the most dramatic for colors and got the dusty wind of the day in the blue around the flower. It was very fun and relaxing, but still struggling with the medication and overheating easily.
