Iris Flowers
April 13, 2025
My first attempt to mix both watercolor and oil pastels. I decided to draw up some Iris Flowers.
Blue Bells
October 26, 2024
Blue Bells features a single, gracefully arched bellflower stem, delicately balanced against a soft, neutral background. Each bell-shaped bloom hangs naturally from the stem, painted in a rich, muted purple that exudes quiet elegance. The artist has used soft strokes and subtle shading to create a realistic, almost three-dimensional effect, emphasizing the organic curve and texture of the flower.
The simplicity of the composition and restrained color palette give the piece a meditative quality, inviting viewers to pause and appreciate the gentle beauty found in nature’s details.
Tawny Lily
September 29, 2024
Tawny Lily is a quick and easy graphite pencil sketch painted in with watercolor. This simple small artwork is a nice little decoration to hang in your room. The Tiger Lily or Tawny Lily, is my favorite flower. Even though I normally decorate my home with either orchids or white lilies, the orange flower is one that grew wild in the valley I grew up in along the ponds and creek sides.
Todd's Sunflowers
September 21, 2024
Todd’s Sunflowers is a quick and easy graphite pencil sketch painted in with watercolor. This simple small artwork is a nice little decoration to hang in your room. Sunflowers being the favorite flower of one of my favorite painters, Van Gogh, and the added bonus of being a vibrant yellow to attract a summer time feel. My reference was my cousin’s yard, so these are Todd’s Sunflowers.
Pink Orchid
September 20, 2024
Pink Orchid is a quick and easy graphite pencil sketch painted in with watercolor. This simple small artwork is a nice little decoration to hang in your room. Orchids being one of my favorite flowers, usually white though, I decided to go with a pink one instead to avoid having to paint a background.
Lonely Rose in the Night's Rain
August 14, 2024
This evocative watercolor painting features a single red rose, captured in a moment of quiet beauty as it stands against a dark, rain-soaked background. The petals, rendered with delicate brushstrokes, are adorned with glistening raindrops that reflect light, adding a touch of realism and tenderness to the scene. The contrast between the vibrant red of the rose and the deep, almost black, background highlights the flower’s resilience and elegance, making it a powerful symbol of love and endurance. The soft, muted colors of the stem and leaves further enhance the focus on the rose, making this painting a striking piece that conveys emotion and depth.
Cherry Popping
March 17, 2024
The Cherry Popping painting depicts two cherries with a realistic appearance. The cherries are rich red with subtle hints of darker tones suggesting volume and curvature. A light source is shining from the upper left, casting a soft shadow to the lower right of the cherries and giving a glossy highlight on their surfaces. The cherries are attached to each other by a green stem, which is connected to only one of the cherries at the top right corner of the painting. The background is plain and light-colored, putting the full focus on the vibrancy and detail of the cherries. The technique used provides a sense of texture that one can almost feel, and the attention to detail in the reflections and shadows is a careful study of light on the fruit’s surface.
