Valentine flowers

My sweetie picked out some charming flowers for me on our Whole Foods Valentine's date. 
Bonus: Getting to arrange them in some vases at home to enjoy for a couple of weeks.


I love flowers.





We sure enjoyed these beauties for 2 whole weeks.

Planning & Sketch-painting

I'm overjoyed to have an opportunity to paint two expressive and colorful pieces for my interior designer's client-friend. It's a great challenge!


Concept: abstract but loosely containing tree forms, expressive, not timid in color, fitting for a trying-to-step-a-little-bit-away-from-traditional family room.


24" x 48" x 2"deep canvases, acrylic paint


Some general composition planning.



Sketching and picking colors



Almost there

And with those last touches of deeper grey, our test-run is complete.



Stay tuned for the {large and in-charge} full-sized version.
