I loved the challenge of capturing the vibrant and subtle shifts of pink in the flowers, the blues in the jar, and then having it all come together with a neutral, yet colorful background. While painting this piece, I found myself thinking of my breast cancer "sisters" out there, and families who have been affected by cancer. There is a lot of love and prayer mixed in the paint on this one.

This piece is a part of my upcoming show at the Alexander House in Port Edwards, WI. The show opens next Friday, November 20th, with a reception from 5 - 8 pm. I am thrilled to be sharing the gallery space with ceramic artist Joe Clark from Port Edwards. 

A work-in-progress shot – I often begin with a transparent under painting and then build upon that with opaque paint mixtures. There is a lot of stepping back, thinking twice, and painting once. And then some scraping and trying it again. ;-)

Oh, how I love peony season! I can't help but wonder if the blooming season of a flower is to remind us to be in the present, to enjoy the fleeting moments of today. Recording the joy of my day in paint, or with a sketch, truly fills my creative "well."

What brings you joy? Please feel free to share your joy moment(s) in the comments.

Thank you for being a part of this creative journey,

Apparently I am in denial that it is winter as I keep painting flowers and other warm weather favorites. So I say embrace that, and just go with it. Chances are, I am not alone in my thinking.

This painting is a part of the "Holiday Extravaganza" show opening today at the Central Wisconsin Cultural Center in Wisconsin Rapids, WI. It is a wonderful and spacious gallery space. If you are in the Wisconsin Rapids area be sure to stop in and enjoy the art. You may just find the perfect gift for someone (or yourself) on your Christmas list.
