Flower Feast Finally Finished!

This was an amazing project for me and I hope you enjoyed watching my progress over the summer and fall.

"Snickers" was the first in this series.  And yes I have since changed the name to something more fun.  As I was painting these lovely little orchids they always seemed to be smiling at me.

I've kept this up on my board all this time because i just love looking at it.  The colors found in natural things are endlessly fancinating.

Another name change that I like much better.  I made this glow even more by darkening the blue background a bit and touching a little orange in the shadows.

I reworked this some also to give the flowers more star quality.

The first work from my trip to Italy this year.  Really looking forward to devling more into the "Italy" paintings as it will be a challenge for me.  Less flowers and more people, architecture and street scenes.

This is the one with which I really had my best moments.

I really hate to part with any of these!  But the paintings are piling up and it's time to share.

So, my ESTY shop is up and running if you care to take a look.  The link is at the top left of this site.
Am I crazy to open a shop for selling art in this economy? Maybe.
I am taking a very conservative business approach to this by keeping the prices on originals as fair as possible and offering  affordable Giclee reproductions.  I found a printing shop close to home that does just beautiful work and whom I can rely on.

I will move onto my christmas card for this year next and then to Italy!
So please stop by again.
