Bromeliad original in bluegreens Oil 48"x36" I created this painting because I was inspired by the beautiful foliage at the American Orchid Society's gardens in Delray Beach. The bromeliad I chose was the most perfect one I have ever seen and the colors were exciting to paint. I decided to frame it from above because that was where its beauty was displayed most advantageously. These are the original colors of the painting. I have created a second version of the image as a giclee. It features more olive greens if a client has that preference. This painting is unique in that it can be hung horizontally or vertically depending on the preference of the collector. |

Abundant Tulips Oil 42"x36" painting size Tulips are structurally alike and grow erect and orderly. Their colors vary like a rainbow. In this painting, I focused on creating a colorful mixture of primary and secondary colors choosing red, yellow and purple flowers with their green stalks and offsetting them with a brilliant blue background and a golden tablecloth. I wanted the flowers to weep over the glass bowl and contradict their own structured nature. To emphasize the giddy happiness of this composition I chose to have fun with the background and introduce spontaneous strokes of golds and whites. I owe the nature of this painting to one of my favorite artists... Van Gogh. |

Desert Rose At Midnight Oil 42" x 36" painting size The Desert Rose grows in my front yard. Its dainty pink flowers are only one or two inches and they bloom throughout the year always providing a pleasant surprise. I painted one on my house because I liked its simple welcoming beauty. "Desert Rose at Midnight" focuses in on two flowers from my mini tree. I wanted to create an interesting composition with emphasis on one of the flowers. The background, which was a challenge at first, became the most fun. I chose dark colors to bring out the brilliant pinks and then I varied the shades and hues so they would transition like a rainbow. |
