For Everything There Is A Season

This painting is inspired in part by the colors blue and yellow. The flag of Ukraine and the love of country in the face of cruel and heartless atrocities.

And too - the colors of the season- the daffodils that carry the hope of Spring, the blue sky that is always there- even though it may be hidden by storms and clouds. 

And of course the title is in reference to Ecclesiastes 3:1-8. These times certainly call on me to renew my faith, and stay ever hopeful.

This painting can be seen at Spring Bull Gallery in Newport, RI or on their website for the show Celebrate Spring which runs from March 19th- April 24th.

Gerbera Daisies

 

These daisies are so full of color, especially as they contrast with the vibrant blue of the table. This 12x12 oil painting is available with free shipping in the US, from my gallery on DailyPaintworks. A painting bright and cheery reminds us that Spring is not too far away.

Spring Mix

I’d love to get some mastery over this new I pad of mine, but I’m impatient and want instant success. I need to remind myself that in all things there is a learning curve and I just need to relax and not be so hard on myself.
All the artists I know are self critical and I want to look at the positive aspect of that. Without striving to be better, to want the next level of understanding color, or even to see on a deeper level- without these things I am satisfied with “good enough”.
It’s not the same as being a perfectionist, but it will surely lead to artistic growth if I push myself out of my comfort zone.
