Pink Peony - SOLD

 
Pink Peony
Acrylic on gallery wrapped canvas 24x24 
 
While at the RBG in Burlington last spring, I took photos of peonies and other flowers.  This painting was inspired by a very large peony in the process of opening.  I didn't record the name but thought it was lovely.

Summer Colours

The colours in this painting just kind of evolved.  I was walking through this area in the summer and the colours I saw were greens, blues and browns.

Iris Garden

Iris Garden
Acrylic on canvas 18x24
 
My starting point for this one was a photo reference I took at the RBG in Burlington last spring while there plein air painting in watercolours with artist friend Donna Fratesi.  I only focused on the Irises and eliminated the background trees, shrubs and people.

Apple Blossoms - sold

Apple Blossoms
Acrylic on gallery canvas 24x30
I started this one last summer and worked on it in stages.  Parts of it came together quickly and other parts needed more thinking and looking and decisions on what to do.  This painting was donated to the Button Factory Arts Auction 2016.

Acrylic on canvas 24x18
 
These were some lovely tulips I bought just to paint.  I might make one small change yet before calling it done.
