Apple Bowl Wallflowers, Acrylic on Panel, 10x10


Here's a painting that I almost completed at the end of last school year. I was super happy with the way it was going and I didn't want to rush through finishing it. So, I waited until after summer when I had more time to focus on it. The bowl is from my grandmother's china collection. I had to simplify it because the original has some ornate holes in it that I'm not able to pull off just yet. I'll come back to it when I have more experience and confidence. The pattern is a sheet of scrapbooking paper. I'm crazy about this one and I'm sure there will be more like it from me.

BON Center, Acrylic on Panel, 20x16



I'm back! The kids are in school so I have time to paint again. Hopefully I'll be a little bit more prolific now. This is a sign from a shopping center built in 1953 in the Old North End of Colorado Springs.
