... some of the last few roses left in the garden before pruning this last January...
such willing and patient models for the artist!

Kutenai Gatherer of the Reeds

Thankfully, the Kutenai tribal life was documented by Edward S. Curtis at the turn of the twentieth century.  Curtis titled his photograph of this scene... 'Kutenai Duck Hunter'.

To me, she didn't appear to be hunting ducks... not at all.
She was clearly gathering reeds for her basket weaving... an art perfected by her tribe.

The title of my painting reflects just that setting... her gathering of reeds for her beautiful baskets... in the serene and beautiful morning!

Our potted ornamental sweet potato vines have been growing like crazy lately... along with the grapevine and its tiny purple grapes. Such tiny grapes. And such a lot of them... and they're so very sweet!

This painting was awarded the 'FAV 15%' award by the Fine Art Studio Online 'Bold Brush' online painting competition for July 2015.

I decided to work more on the last painting… so here is the finished painting, for real.
I think it is much improved… just like my friend will soon be.

A little painting for a friend who has been going through wretched chemotherapy. She can't receive fresh flowers so when I found her favorites at the market, they became a gift in a painting… pink peonies!

I love citrus trees! Especially when they're growing in pots.

With them it's a bit like Christmas throughout the year… their branches so brightened by their sweet, colorful (sometimes sour!!) ornaments!

Love that.

Pink Lisianthus are a true gift during the hot summer months. They don't seem to mind the heat one little bit. Thankfully! It has been a hot summer!

The colors in those freesia from the market were quite beautiful! and different from any I had seen before. They were the inspiration for this painting.
I'm especially drawn to those little hops tree flowers, too.

I do love this sheep barn in Vermont... especially in the early morning hours of Springtime.

It was a rainy day, this one... but all was cozy inside the sheep barn.
The little sparrows were flitting and resting on the ledge, soaking up the morning light... waiting for the sheep man to bring some grain for the nursing ewes with lambs.

... a glimpse from inside that cozy sheep barn in Vermont... the little sparrows were busy guys, chattering and flitting everywhere on and off the window sills.

They were cute... that's for sure.
