This was the first time I did a bouquet cluster with the purpose of getting the light on it. All the flowers are from my garden. It is amazing just how many you can cram into a 6x6 panel!

Two Yellow Daisies (Matted)




7.5x5 oil on prepared paper, archivally matted

Available at Auction on Daily Paintworks
Starting bid $69


Oh, it's a classic. I have been using this image since 1997 for card sets; it is a favorite in the green ribbon set on etsy.  It is simplicity and joy; who couldn't love two yellow daisies? Still available as an original.

This piece is archivally matted to 12x14 for a nice presentation. This image, as are the other small florals, is part of "A Year in Bloom" a series of 365 paintings I created one year. Many of these images are available as blank cards, and I have 10 card sets (sets of 5 different blank cards) available on Etsy.

"Yellow Lily" (matted)


Yellow Lily
Oil on prepared Paper
matted archivally
5x7.5
$140

Yellow sunflowers, yellow daisies, yellow freesias, and now today a yellow lily! Hmm I wonder what that means. I don't think of myself as a big yellow user, but maybe its because there are lots of yellow flowers out there!  I remember painting this in a yard of an acquaintance. There were hundreds of the orange tiger lillies with the downward curving petals, but for some reason this is the one I chose, maybe because of it's rarity in the scene. Later, I regretted not painting the tiger lillies, and started looking for another opportunity. It took a long time to find it again, but I did eventually, in Maine, outside a motel where we stayed on a mini honeymoon. (I think every couple should have at least a couple of days of honeymoon each year!)

Remembrance -The Pink Chair Project #9 - "Daisy Love"




DAISY LOVE

Oil on Canvas
18X24

Available for delayed sale
$780




Mom loved daisies - and she also wrote poetry. Daisies were on the cover of the program for her funeral service, and little girls wove them into garlands for their hair at the celebration of her life. She said she wanted a party! I just had to honor her with this painting. Here is one of her poems:

The Daisy

I remember in my childhood,
I was walking one nice day
With my mother, in a garden,
Where the flowers bloomed so gay!
I bent down to pick a rosebud,
(‘twas a very lovely hue)
but my mother said "Don't pick it,
for it's not the thing to do."

As we were heading homeward through a field of daisies fair -
I was filled with joy and pleasure
at the great profusion there.
And my mother smiled and told me
that since these were only weeds
I could pick as many "flowers"
as would fill my every need...

I am now sharing my current show with my readers and daily paintworks viewers. This show is currently traveling and will be available for purchase after the travel is completed, around mid-2014. Art work may be held until then with a 10% down payment. E-mail me or see my pink chair project blog, for details

This exhibit tells the story about painting a pink plastic Adirondack chair. The chair represents my mother, Carolyn Elizabeth Pedersen Schulte, of Rochester, NY, who passed on June 5th, 2011. She was a wonderful woman, full of love for everyone around her, and she loved this bright color pink. She was proud of me as an artist and would love what I am doing. I take the chair to favorite places of hers and to places or situations I know she would have liked. It is a way for me to grieve and to celebrate her life. I talk to her as I paint and make sure that she would want to be where the chair has been placed.
