I spotted this tree while on a trip to Urbana, IL. I just loved the way the bark peeled of and left these beautiful images on the trunk. I hope I did it justice.

I Can't Paint Wallpaper!

I Can't Paint Wallpaper!
Original Watercolor Painting

A customer came into my booth at a local art fair and couldn’t decide on which painting she wanted. After some thought, she asked if I do commissions. Of course, I
responded. She then brought out a swatch of wallpaper from her kitchen and asked me to paint a picture using it as my inspiration. Apparently, I didn't make my painting as dull and washed out looking as her swatch, so the sale obviously fell through. But at least now you know how I got the name for this one!

I was fooling around and tried to paint a flower with out drawing it out in pencil first. This was the happy result that occurred. Although it doesn't resemble the model, I was pleasantly surprised on how it turned out.

Field of Daffodils

Spring was very good this year and I got tons of images to inspire me. This one was taken at a near by park. There was a huge field of yellow daffodils that just took my breath away. Here is my interpretation of these beauties.

Blowing in the Wind

I finished another paining that I wanted to share with you. It's called "Blowing in the Wind". It's a spray of tulips I spotted while on one of my daily walks with my husband. (I always carry a camera just in case on of my neighbors beautiful gardens inspires me!). Enjoy!
