Lilacs and Cherry Blossoms

This is the first year I have ever painted my very favorite smelling flowers.  They remind me of my childhood in upstate NY where lilac bushes were more like lilac trees, or maybe it was because I was so small that they seemed that big.  I had a little table and kid size chairs under our lilac tree where I had tea parties, smelling the sweet scent of lilacs the whole time.  This painting is a little 8x10 on stretched canvas.  It is in my ebay gallery auction this week.  CLICK HERE to visit it in my Gallery where you will have the option to bid or see other paintings in my gallery.

How to paint a floral with Lilacs and Cherry Blossoms

These flowers fade so quickly that one must paint quickly.... which is fine by me as I love the feel of the impressionist quality of a well thought out, quick plein aire sketch.  This painting features lilacs and cherry blossoms from my garden.  I am going to picture the step by step process below.

I look forward to this time of year when the peonies start to bloom in my yard.  Every year I try to devote several days to paint these, quick to fade, flowers.

Some of my favorite paintings are on site, plein aire sketches.  This one was from just last week in one of my favorite haunts on a rise in an Oklahoma prairie.

Picking Sand Plums in Rural Oklahoma

This painting began after a wildcrafting trip in rural Oklahoma where Jackie Dill lead a group of us to her favorite haunts and shared Native American recipes, Here we are foraging for wild plums.  I loved how the sun fell across a young woman in our group as she reached for more plums.  I said, " Wait!  Hold that pose!  Snapped a few photos and used them later in the studio to create this painting.  This painting started out as a stretched canvas that later got ripped when my husband was cleaning up.  On my blog I go through the process of repairing it and putting it on a board.  To bid on the painting, click here

Back Yard

I got inspired the other day.  It was such a warm and wonderful afternoon and all my work was complete.  I had a couple hours left of daylight and my neighbor's fully leafed out willow tree looked so pretty against the rest of the barren trees and the cloudy day.  I ran in and grabbed my brushes and set about the painting.

What to do on a rainy Sunday?  Paint it!  I really liked the process of attempting to capture the look and feel of a rainy day where your vision is a little clouded and everything takes on a greyish hue.  Click above to visit more of my work,
