Burst of Spring

I am so pleased with this painting as it was wet into wet and very little paint added after it was dry.   Prior to painting I had selected the colors and how I wanted it to flow.     Nothing was drawn on the paper it was all from the flow of the paint, the brush and the hand.    For someone that worked with numbers most of their life seeing this develop was amazing.   I just charged in and wow I am so pleased with the outcome.

Emergence

This was an inspiration when walking Sofie on the island one morning and spotting a new growth of sunflowers emerging from behind a fence.     They had so much energy that I could not resist charging in with bright strong colors.

Wistful Day

Somedays are just about simple things with no real energy being exerted.   This was one of those days and I was happy with the results.  I find painting  flowers  a peaceful pleasure.     I have always enjoyed flowers and take great pleasure in viewing the changes season to season.    Flowers can tell so many stories in their structure and color.   Flowers are also used to say so many things and express many emotions.   As this was a wistful day I have named it so.
