9 x 12 Oil on Linen, Gerber Daises in Steel Vase

closeup

9 x 12, oil on linen. I’ve been working on finishing up some commissions, and this is one of them. Teeny self portrait again! This is the happiest painting I ever made, btw… very bright, the flower in full-face toward the sun, the golden one shyly emerging…. The petals are practically pluckable.

I don’t mind telling you, I’ve been spending a lot of time on my paintings, pushing a lot farther and going for not just an “object” but a “story.” Even if it’s a subtle story… This one is about optimism.

On the easel, Pansies in a Copper Bowl, day 1. 9 x 12 inches, oil on panel.

You may notice, I’m shifting toward more complex compositions and more difficult subject matter. There’s a huge bouquet of pink and white tulips on my easel right now. I feel I’ve been working up to these paintings for quite some time, and now is as good a moment as any to leap forward.
