Flower shop

Acrylic on canvas board
16 x 20.

This one was based upon a picture of a flower shop in San Jose farmers market back in early spring. (:-[ California and its mild weather, huff!!!)

The painting has more of a 2D feel, which was intentional. I love it for the variety of colors.

The setting sun

 

This painting is based on a picture taken from my living room window which overlooks the Indian lake. The sun was setting, bathing the sky and the back forest in beautiful colors. It took a few trials and errors, but I love the final flaming sky.

Cat in the hat cake

I tried my first attempt at fancy frosting today. Love it! Can't wait to try it again! Here are the details steps, failures and successes.

Backyard pond

We get these beautiful views from our bed room window. This is a backyard of one of our neighbors as seen from our window. An early spring morning, the red buds had just started sprouting and coloring the gray canvas that winter had left us. When I saw this view, I knew I had paint it.
