Begonia Beauties
Two golden begonia blooms emerged from lines, pot, and leaves one day, as I passed by my mother’s front porch. As long as a plant showed the scraggliest of hope, clinging to life, she would tend it carefully. But these flowers were thriving in their hanging pot, when I snapped their photo and tucked it away for a future painting. To life!
Juicy Fruit
Perfect fruit, quenching crunch, health in the hand, oh apple of Eden, how many artists have painted you? I also have tried to capture your good side. Do you have a bad one? This time, the green of the peel is what appealed. I painted and ate and was satisfied.
Lady Peony
I know it is Fall, but I still have this one last peony to post! If I had my wish, they would bloom even in the snow. This small painting was an exercise in getting more paint on the board, something I need to practice.
Pumpkin Spray
Fall arrived, crisp, cool, and clean. This is a small centerpiece for anywhere just to celebrate the season. I tried painting it with a black calligraphy line for a lighthearted statement. Goodbye warm summer days; hello falling leaves and windy weather. Good night, dear trees.
Enthroned
In a day, the seasons change from Summer to Fall, and earth begins to erupt in color. Pumpkin orange leads the way dotting fields in plump fruits, and so I say, “Hail, O great pumpkin of the Season. Thank you for glowing faces and pumpkin pie!”
