8 x 8 Garden Floral Series


I thought I would share with you my 8 x 8 Garden Floral Series.  While I don't have a great deal of interest in painting flowers they are often an important element of my work.  I decided to paint this series for two reasons. First of all these small canvases are a great "warm up" for larger planned canvases.  Another reason is simply that they sell and I need a better selection of smaller canvases for this year.  
As you may know the above images show ,from left to right, a Clematis, a Red Poppy and Tulips with Columbine all in various stages of development. None of them finished.  There is a forth not pictured which is of Black Eyed Susan's.  They are yellow-orange in color.
I'm planning on having about 10 painting in this series. and planning on another series of the same size of Wildflowers.      Can I do it?  

I would really like some suggestions of flowers that you would like to see me paint.  So put on your thinking caps and let me know.

These are beautiful. The winter is a great time to paint flowers.
Think about orchids, hibiscus and good old daisies.They are all beautiful!
