When getting ready to varnish this painting, I noticed a flaw in the canvas. Usually, I notice things like this before I finish the painting~ I have pulled the painting from the stores, so sad, I really loved this one.

Well, back to painting. I am finishing up a new poppy landscape commission and then working on a new Emu painting~

Porch Geraniums ~ New Challenge Painting

Acrylic on Gallery Wrapped Canvas

I painted this for the Daily Paintworks Painting Challenge ~ The Outside Your Window Challenge. I love geraniums and have bright red ones on my porch, just outside my studio window. I think my love for geraniums comes from memories of my grandmother. She always had red and pink geraniums.

Porch Geraniums was painted using professional artist grade acrylic paint on a museum quality gallery wrapped canvas with painted sides to allow for display without a frame.. Painting was finished with a light coat of varnish.

This painting has sold.

Now off to paint!

Thank you for viewing,

I have started a new nest painting~ I couldn't help myself, they are too much fun. This one has a blue background and is going to have some green in the nest, maybe a leaf or two.

I have almost finished a large (18" x 24") gold pear painting. It should be done by the end of the weekend.

The commissions are coming along. One is a poppy landscape. I will post pictures when it is finished.

Now, off to paint~

I have been in the mood to paint bird nests lately, must have been the Spring ~. I am almost finished with the newest nest painting - on a red background (I think inspired by the current heat wave).

These paintings are currently available for purchase in my Website Gallery and my Etsy.com store.

It seems whenever I say I have finished commissions and will be painting whatever pops into my head~ then I get more commissions. I am currently working on three~ after that, I will be painting whatever pops into my head.. ... HA!

I have started a small painting of the geraniums on my porch for the Challenge Painting blog. Hopefully, this will be finished by the end of the weekend.

Thanks for stopping by~
