I will probably not be posting for a week or so. We are about to receive an influx of relatives - all coming to town for my baby shower, and to see us one more time before we become parents. Ten weeks to go!

I hope you are all enjoying your Memorial Day Weekend, and having great weather. We are getting ready for a much-anticipated influx of houseguests next week, and Jesse is finishing a long list of outdoor projects. I'm helping as much as I can...which isn't much when it comes to shoveling dirt!

Roses in Gold

8 x 8"
oil on canvas
Sold
I worked quickly on this one to try and capture the changing light pattern. I toned the canvas with a wash of Alizarin Crimson before beginning, and I like the way it peeks through in small patches, giving the whole painting a rosy glow. You can see the same effect on yesterday's painting.

Rose Bouquet

11 x 14"

Sold
This painting is larger than I normally work, and it took all day. Now I'm pretty tired, but determined to get out and enjoy some of the gorgeous sunshine.

Tall Tulips

oil on canvas

Do you feel like you've been seeing an awful lot of these tulips lately? Well, they only come up once a year, so I have to take advantage of them while they're around.

Sake Jug with Tulip

6 x 8"
oil on gallery wrap canvas
NFS
I'm proud of this painting. I've had this sake set sitting out ever since I unpacked two months ago, and I haven't been able to get up the nerve to paint it. I worried that I wouldn't be able to do justice to the beautiful glaze that tempted me to buy it at an arts festival several years ago, but I'm happy with the results.
