Red Tulips

This clump of amazingly red tulips just appeared in one corner of my yard. They are like royalty appearing amongst humble folks - you can't ignore them !

Magnolia Minuet

Every spring these stately old fashioned blossoms open and I love seeing them.

Spring begins !  Blossoms emerge from the grays and browns and violets of winter.

This sketch is directly and loosely painted using a restricted palette of 3 primaries plus black. I'm amazed by the range of color and value capable with this approach. This is one of the series, which I've named "Almost Honest"  and is about basic discoveries, and is a hoot !

In The Mirror....

I had planned to sketch some objects on my bathroom counter, when I looked up and saw my image in the mirror and changed the plan.  It still fits  into the Almost Honest category , so I painted it.
