Busy Painting

wip
 
I have been busy painting the last couple of weeks.

Seems like when the spring flowers start blooming I want to get my brushes moving.









 There is always inspiration to be found  growing near by.

Shades of pink...
Azaleas

Johnny Jump Ups
violet












Tulips & Virginia bluebells






and bright yellow will make one's palette certainly sing.














Ah what would we do without beautiful flowers to inspire??

Hope all of you are enjoying some today as well.

Have a blessed week.

Hugs Debbie

  2. I can only imagine how inspired you get when you see such beauty. I cannot paint but I will usually try to capture the fleeting beauty of flowers with my camera.

  4. Dear Debbie
    Painting flowers teaches you to be observant doesn't it - I can see that you have been looking carefully at your subjects which have turned out beautifully.

  6. Hello Debbie. Lovely paintings as always I always enjoy seeing your work,
    I really do intend to find, no I mean make time to do some painting again. Life just seems to get in the way at the moment. After all the clearing up we had to do after the storm damage we are both so tired trying to get our cottage ready for the first of our visitors this week.. We are nearly at the end. so after that it's just the usual routine for the seasons letting. which starts to morrow.

  14. Love those tulips! What pretty paintings, too. I've been terribly lax in my sketching--didn't even sketch once on my recent road trip. Took lots of pictures, though--maybe time to dig them out and make a sketch from one of them.

  17. It is wonderful to see several of your beautiful paintings. Such sensitivity!
    I have not see azaleas in quite a while so they were a real treat.And that one yellow and red tulip is a real show stopper. Thanks for sharing.

  18. Flowers inspire me to paint as well, Debbie! They have such incredible beauty, and I want to record that somehow. Your painting is beautiful, and you must feel such inspiration with all the flowers that grow at your home. We used to have azaleas when we lived in the northwest...such amazing colors and beauty. I haven't seen any since as the climates where we have lived don't allow them to do well. Thank you for sharing them!

  25. Your floral paintings are absolutely lovely, Debbie!!! They really are so inspiring.
    Thank you so much for your wonderful comment on the portrait painting - I'm very pleased with it, too. I smiled when I read your comment about patience. I am re-reading Catherine Anderson's book, and she makes a comment to the effect - who would have guessed you'd be learning patience with learning to paint watercolor? :)
    Bruno and I are doing well. Must post some pictures that my trainer took in our last lesson.
