Pink Dahlia Flower - oil painting

An old-timer up the road from me has a garden by the road filled with dahlias and other flowers. I went for a walk with my camera one recent sunny day and got not only some great pictures to use for reference, but an offer for me to drop by next spring so he can give me some dahlias to plant in my own garden. In addition, I got something I absolutely love - stories about the old days and what the neighborhood was like 50 years ago or more. That's golden! Pin It

Iris Garden - watercolor painting

A sparrow visits a birdfeeder in the midst of a bed of lovely irises.

Today was a lovely summer day. I went for a ride to take some pictures for a pet portrait - cute little Corgi mix. It's always nice to have the chance to visit the animal I'm going to paint. That doesn't happen all the time, but when someone lives close enough, I try to do that. Along the way, of course I noticed the flowers in bloom. There are still some iris amazingly, daylilies and lots of blue hydrangeas. Plenty of subject matter for a few paintings! Pin It
