Today's painting is inspired by my garden roses in a milk glass vase on vintage embroidered table cloth.
I really find joy in bringing the outdoors inside especially during summer. I love the natural lines juxtaposed with the linear tall vase.
I am working on some summer florals this week. Here is some inspiration I got on a layover in Munich, Germany. I took the train to Marienplatz and had 9 hours to shop and daydream.
I am using some of the beautiful roses from the markets for inspiration!
I found these coral colored roses and couldn't resist taking them home. It's March 15 but the whole Eastern Seaboard is in a blizzard and we are below freezing with snow here in Chicago. We need some color in the house!
And this English teapot makes the perfect-imperfect vessel.
Look for possibly some coral rose paintings coming soon.
I am having so much fun painting these pretty pink ranunculus. Beautiful, round, pink pillowy blossoms and twisty romantic stems that seem to be very hardy.
The watercolor pictures are perfect to capture the clean and pure colors.
The oil paints are also good at capturing the nuances of color and the texture of the many petals. Hope you enjoy!
