I can always squeeze in a tiny painting, even on the busiest of days - and it's SO good for my soul! These sweet blooms are so like pansies, but smaller. I've only planted them a couple of times in all these years, when I've found them at a local nursery. Maybe I could pick up seed, for an early start indoors next year, ensuring that I have them again and again to paint in spring. Painting number 4850 in 4850 days.
This afternoon finds me painting in my flowers - in between the many garden tasks! I have been told this variety of lily is very old - pre-civil war, in fact. I have them everywhere, and have only seen them in another old property - the home of Amelia Earhart in Atchison, Kansas. Very full and vibrant, the butterflies love them - and this cloudless sulphur danced among them today. With only a tiny painting window, I am painting small today, 3x4, and the texture is very rough. A bit of a challenge on a small piece, to be sure. The very best part of this size is that I am quickly done! Painting number 5096 in 5096 days.
Love working the Sainte Genevieve Catholic Church in metal for Music Art Love! It's such a beautiful place! I'll be delivering these at the end of the month. Artwork number 3710 in 3710 days.
This little copper piece of "Stella and Me" is heading for Music Art Love in Sainte Genevieve, along with several others at the end of the month! I working on several miniature pieces and I hope to get a couple of larger pieces finished, too. Love all the historic architecture of this gorgeous old town! Painting number 3309 in 3309 days.
