Spotlight on the Gerber Daisies II

Spotlight on small gerber daisies

Why still life? Landscape and outdoor scenes were always my preference. Since having kids, and since kids have had busy schedules, my only paint time is afterhours. Usually 8-10 or 11. I’m hoping as we head into the longest hours of daylight, I can get outside again.

These photos are from tonight’s session with gerber daisies with a high contrast background. Painted to the soundtrack of The Greatness Showman.😌 🎪

Maxx & small hydrangea arrangement

First night in the studio since before City arts festival. I worked on Maxx- and a small arrangement from my student Jack. I tried to keep the still life loose.
