with accents of black and navy-ocean blue.

Shapely, copper, rose-like flowers with bright green petals and stems
mingle with tones of deep pink and red, in a square vase.

Misty darkness surrounds exotic flowers,
with wild leaves, as they crowd together in their vase.

Snow Day

Lots of snow here. Berfore scanning, I decided to go out and take a few photos of the paintings that I completed in the past week. This painting of two roses is one that I finished last night. There are two others that I will also be listing along with this one later today.

Columbian White Roses

When they arrived they were closed and sleeping (zzzzzzzz). And over the course of a day they have outstretched their petals and opened like a human yawning in the morning. They are impeccable, lovely white Columbian roses, gifted to me by my husband. And after a fresh trim and change of water (mixing a home remedy recipe for hopeful longevity) these babies are a daydream and ready to stand tall. Absolutely smitten with this bouquet, their lovely, deep, rich moss green leaves  against babysoft, cream coloration. What inspiration these have brought!!

I don't really post personal things but wanted to share these lovely white roses that my husband surprised me with. To be given flowers, out of the blue, wasn't just a warm surprise, it was something that really, really cheered me up and lifted my spirits. They also inspired me to paint more white flowers and appreciate their beauty alittle more. Roses are such a beautiful flower but for me, they're really hard to grow. So having some like these, was very exciting. A deeply, deeply heartfelt thank you to my husband for these hearty, amazing flowers and for genuinely inspiring me to pick up the brush (and not be so hard on myself) when sometimes I struggle to pick up my chin after traumatic stress.

SOKY!

With immense gratitude, I am very happy to share that I am featured in SOKY Happenings January 2025 issue, as their Artist Profile. To be acknowledged as an artist, here in southern Kentucky,  having been born and raised here, means so much to me. I put so much into my paintings and in general am someone who is very passionate about art but who appreciates even the smallest of acknowledgements concerning what I do. So again, this really does mean a great deal to me. Thank you so much to Twila and to everyone who make this magazine possible. I am so grateful. (Pages 6-7!!)
