The Purple of Lilacs,floral oil painting


Is there anything more purple then Lilacs? Maybe, but to me if I think purple I think Lilacs.This floral painting of purple Lilacs is done in oils.


Lilacs bloom in early May. There is a lot to be said about having a large vase of Lilacs by your bed as you drift off to sleep with that glorious smell.


I always get caught up in the drama and romance of them. It is interesting how the scent can conjure up memories and I am in a time machine taken back to another time and place. The fragrance takes me back to a time as a child on the farm playing in the warm spring air under the Lilac bush. The lilac was so old it was more like a tree then a bush. Climbing its gnarly branches and siting up so high where no one could see me, I would read my adventures of places I wanted to see in the lilacs.

Can you smell the lilacs through my words?

Pink Poppies

I think I was in the pink mode today painting pink poppies.

The earliest citations of 'in the pink' are from the 16th century and, at that time, the meaning was 'the very pinnacle of something', but not necessarily limited to health. The earliest example that I can find of pink being used with that meaning is from 1597 Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet, 1597:
Mercurio: Why, I am the very pinke of curtesie.

The earliest citation I've found for 'in the pink' is from Leigh's Kensington Gardens, 1720:
"'Tis the Pink of the Mode, to marry at first Sight: - And some, indeed, marry without any Sight at all."
The 'pink of the mode', i.e. the acme of excellence of fashion, was a common early usage and continued to be used throughout the 19th century.

Asparagus No. 4

Of course this is home grown Michigan Asparagus painted just for you.

Great artists have always enjoyed painting floral themes, whether capturing fields of wildflowers, exquisite blooms in vases or simply the perfection of a single fallen petal. Fruits in bowls also frequently appeal to the painterly eye.

Then there are vegetables, the supposedly less-exciting garden inhabitants: sometimes supple, often juicy, of all colors and shapes.I think it is the bright bold colors that keep me paintng vegetables again and again.

Artists who bring vegetables to the canvas seem just as appreciative of beauty — yet with an added sense of pragmatism, since vegetables not only look aesthetically pleasing, but they are wonderful to eat cooked or raw.

Pear

Pears are so much fun to paint, I keep going back to them. I'm not sure which I like to paint more pears or peppers? My tomato's are are ripe in the garden so I will be canning at some point today. I am a very visual person, what ever is in my visual field at the moment is the most real thing for me. So what ever activity I start has a lot to do with what I paint. I bet I end up with some paintings of tomato's before the day is over. Now off to the post office to ship paintings that have sold.

Melot

I have been commissioned to design 2 labels for wine bottles. One is for their line of reds and the other for their white wine. I am trying to think wine for a few days to get me in the mood. I like strong colors but wine label is a unique thing, a very personal item. The label on the bottle is an important item. It must invoke curiosity and introduce the brand.

Expressions in Teal, 1020

Abstract Expressionism is suppose to invoke an emotion in the viewer.Today my emotions are in teal.
Abstract Expressionism has no distinct image instead you are looking at how someone feels how it comes across as action,color,and movement. My paintings are always full of color and movement but with this series of abstract work I am concentrating on how I feel at this moment.Today I feel Teal.
