Pansies in Lyn's Yellow Bowl

Lyn, my dear friend and Mahjong player extraordinare, has four of these yummy yellow bowls that she uses for popcorn. As soon as I saw one, I mentally filled it with blue and violet pansies and then begged one bowl from her to use for this oil painting. I happily filled it with these gorgeous pansies who always seem so delighted to be wherever they are. I popped in the little ceramic egg separator decorated with blue, pansy-like flowers and was very pleased with the cheerful little group. Enjoy.

"Mid-Summer Bounty"


This painting reflects the incredible warmth, lushness and abundance of summer! The magnificent English Roses are from my garden and range in color from delicate pinks to rich apricot and deep peach. They were the perfect companion to the actual apricots and peaches in the still life.
I loved contrasting the textures of the fuzzy peaches with the shiny, brass bowl. The blue/green cloth provided a necessary cool complement to all that warmth. It also gave me a great challenge - to paint folds in cloth covered by an intricate pattern. The little white, ceramic pitcher with its lovely floral design brought in a sense of times past.

The Money Plant 7 x 5 inches

The Money Plant

The lovely Lunaria, also called Money Plant, Silver Dollars, Honesty, Moonwort and Satin Flower, produce wonderfully decorative, oval seedpods in the Fall. Shimmering, silvery and translucent, they just beg to be painted! I placed them in this vintage, ceramic vase for its similar colors and contrasting texture.
