flowers and old gate

I never consider myself a flower painter, but when spring rolls around, I can't seem to help it; I have to paint some flowers.

thistle

This is just a weed, at least everyone I know says they are, but I think that the color of the thistle is a wonder to behold. We have lots of them this year, due to plenty of rain during the winter and early spring. This image is oil on canvas and is 12x12.

spring flowers

although I don't normally paint flowers, I do love them, especially when they are against a rugged background like a stucco wall or an aged barn. The contrast is striking.
This one is 18x24, oil, canvas, framed and priced at, or around, $350. THIS JUST SOLD. MORE ON THE WAY.
