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.

Quiet Dawn Peeks Into the Barn

This barn is no longer a working barn... for farming, that is. I am going to be missing it a lot.

The morning light coming through those barn doors, lighting on the sleeping sheep in the cold morning hours, is something I wish I could experience again.

Nothing stays the same... sadly... in this case.

I painted this while working with other artists during the Artists' Guild Week with David Leffel, Sherrie McGraw, and Jacqueline Kamin... held at the Scottsdale Artists' School. It was a wonderful experience.

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!

hmmm… it's been a while since posting on the blog… I seem to have much more interest in getting the news out in my newsletter.

The subscribers to my newsletter, Impasto!, have been receiving a monthly update with all that's new. It has been 5 years now!!

Lisianthus and Darby

Pink Lisianthus and Abraham Darby roses are among my favorite flowers from the garden… they do fine in our hot summer months.

Even after cutting the Lisianthus and putting them in a vase, they last for weeks… nearly as if I just picked them! They're wonderful.

And, for some reason unknown to me, the images on this blog aren't showing as well as they do on the website. I have heard other artists complain about the same problem. I will need to spend some time researching and resolving that issue.

At any rate, here is a link to the image on the website for a little better look at one of my favorite subject matters to paint.

Lemons and Berries

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!

… and those stemmed flowers on the lower left are from the 'gopher plants' that grow around here. Their blossoms are wonderful… along with the velvety purple sage blossoms this year!

A 'little bit' of a painting… with purple grapes, a deep red onion (love those) and a 'wee' little yellow onion.

Happy Mother's Day!

Thank you to our Blessed Mother… and to all of our mothers. May we follow Her example!

Quail Egg, Roses, and Delphinium

I found a little quail egg… it was just sitting out on the open ground.

Quail usually make a bed in a well-protected, hidden area of moist dirt. They lay one egg each day until there are no more. (Yet they all hatch within about 10 minutes of each other!)

I'm guessing something scared the wits out of the mother hen before she could make it to her nesting bed.
That exposed little egg was bound for the dinner table of a hawk, rat, or snake.

I was happy to find it first.
