Red Geraniums ~ New Small Painting

Red Geraniums

6" x 6"

Acrylic on Gallery Wrapped Canvas

~Sold~

The original plan was to sit on the porch and paint~ well, the heat wave came much sooner than I expected and I have not been able to sit and paint on the porch, so the next best thing--paint what is on the porch. This potted red geranium lives on my front porch with several other geraniums of varying colors. Hopefully, at some point in time, I will be able to sit and enjoy the porch and paint without burning up.

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

This painting is available for purchase by using the Paypal button above or at my website gallery or in my Etsy.com store.

This weekend has flown by and I did not get as much done as I wanted, but tomorrow is another day~ check back again soon and see what I come up with.

Thanks for stopping by,

There are so many paintings floating in my head that need to get on canvas! The weather is beautiful and everything is blooming. It is very inspiring. The series "Paintings from the Porch" is currently on hold until the green/yellow mist of floating pollen eases up just a bit.

I am currently finishing up the two lily pond paintings. Half finished and waiting for my undivided attention are two large ballerina paintings and a large pear painting. Look for posts on these paintings in the coming days~

UP NEXT~

I should be finished with my Lily Pond paintings by the end of the weekend. I have also finished a second teacup painting, and will be finishing my cup of coffee on red this evening. So much to do, so little time.

Spring is here, the trees and blooming around Charlotte. I will have to take time to drive around and take pictures. They are all so pretty.

I am still planing to do a series of painting from my porch. The weather is just perfect and the porch is ready to go!
