I usually leave the flowers to those more capable, like Sarah Sedwick, but every now and again...

The First 500 Paintings*

(click picture to enlarge image)

I was preparing material for a post on inspiration and influence, and collected an overview of the small work I've done over the last few years into a single image. This link will take you to a large JPEG for a closer look. The images are arranged in rough chronological order. Hope you stick around for the next 500! *It's not actually 500 paintings-- it's more like 513, but you get the idea.

The branch seen in this painting came from this tree, which is in the garden at the side of of my house. It is covered in multicolored lichen and moss, twisted and gnarled. Really beautiful.

This Iris is from my front garden.

I thought that I'd share a little "behind the scenes". Here's a few snapshots of this piece in progress.

I was inspired by a recent painting of Duane Keiser: Still Life with Dogwood Branch and Dandelion.

I bid on this one, but ended up winning the auction for the previously posted painting. That's Keiser #2 for me.

Looking forwards to seeing it!

These flowers are kickin' my butt. I was happy with the first, painted under artificial light, but the last and this one were tough. I actually put this one away yesterday, and revisited it again today, after screwing up my courage. It's better than the last...

This picture doesn't do the painting justice. I might try and get a better one later.
