Paso Robles Vineyard - Silk Painting

I chose to use the wrought iron with a landscape behind it. I had a lot of fun with this one.

Silk Koi - Painting on Silk

Big surprise, another silk painting. I've done several smaller Koi paintings on silk and wanted to try it on a larger scale.

Wrought Iron Grapes Silk Painting

Back to silk painting. I have so much fun doing these paintings that I can't stay away from them for long. I've used the wrought iron theme again on a smaller scale. I concentrated on using more subdued colors on the leaves and am very happy with the results.

Italian Awning

Here is a pastel just to do something a little different. I started it about a year ago and decided to finish it this week. I love the looser, gestural look that pastels can give.

Fuchsia Vignettes

This week I painted two small vignettes to go inside of a garden club yearbook. They were done to complement the cover which was a more complex fuchsia painting. It is a watercolor titled "Hanging Fuchsias" and you can find it on my website. The original is sold but Limited Edition Giclees are available.

Sunflower Silk Painting II

Again, another silk sunflower painting with yet another look. Same flowers with a different border, more intense colors and a square format. I think I like this one the best which is good because I am REALLY tired of painting sunflowers now!

Sunflower silk painting I

I wanted to paint another silk painting with the sunflowers but with a different look. I was planning to use it for a booklet cover for a project I'm working on. They are the same flower design as the previous silk sunflower painting but repositioned a bit. Without the wrought iron framework, I think the result is completely different.
