 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!)

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 different card sets of five florals available on Etsy.

The seagull by the shore, wave on the beach, the yellow beak, blue water. Ah, I couldn't keep it all abstract - do you see him looking at you?

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.

"At Rest on the River" (framed)

At Rest On The River

11x14

Oil on Panel

$325

When I was in Maine, I met fellow aqua-workout lovers. One lady invited me to paint at her house. She lived on the widening river that runs through Thomaston and becomes a cove to the sea.What a gorgeous view! Though she had beautiful gardens, I stayed on her deck high up and painted the water. The "at rest" refers to the seals (lower right) and birds (center) that regularly take breaks at low tide.
