This is a portrait of my granddaughter Charlotte. If I can get a good photo of her twin sister Jessica then I would like to paint her next.

"Sunflowers In A Black Vase"
18"x24" Oil on board
I wanted to paint something fun so I decided to paint these sunflowers in an 'I don't care what happens' mood. I left the vase very simple not giving any detail to it. I'm not sure how I feel about it but I had fun and I love Sunflowers.

"Two Brushes"
Oil on linen 13.5 x 12
I've been wanting to paint these brushes for some time now but could never come up with a set-up until now. I like the way this one came out.

"Sunflowers" 13x9 Oil
My attempt at a split Complementary design.
Red-Violet, yellow, and green
I'm not sure if that's correct but close enough.
I was also trying to make the light travel up to the focal point which is the top flower. I had tons of fun painting this.
" Grandmother's Vase" 11x14 oil
This vase belonged to my great great grandmother. I actually enjoyed painting this. I thought it was going to be crazy to paint. I need to get a better photo of this under better lights. The flowers are looking washed out. Another thing on my to do list.
I began oil painting in February of 2008. I love color, light and reflections. I still have much to learn and I'm still trying to find my style. I love realism but I also enjoy the look of impressionism. My goal in the beginning was to fill my walls with my own art. I've almost accomplished that goal.
