I've been waiting for a month now to have some flowers in my gardens to paint! It has been such a cold Spring. Finally the Daffodils have shown their cheerful faces! Welcome Spring!!

Autumn's Glow
I feel that I am becoming a bit more comfortable with working the landscape from photo reference. I am still anxiously awaiting Spring flowers however, so I have some garden flowers to paint!

Buck Creek (revisited)
Thank you my artist friends!
Last week I posted this landscape asking for comments and suggestions from you all. Thanks to my wonderful (and VERY talented) friends I made some adjustments to this painting that I think made it a stronger painting....your suggestions were much appreciated and enjoyed! What a terrific opportunity to learn from you all. I hope you enjoy the changes I made. :)

Cattails
Another attempt at a landscape using a photo reference. This one is sort of "playful" I think. The tangle of cattails is the main focal point, but they seemed to feel best when I kept them to a loose abstraction of shapes.
It is much more of a struggle for me painting from photos than it is from life. I feel that I want to become more accomplished at it though. Sometimes it is so much more practical than trying to paint from life. It is good to be able to do both I think. So I will continue to practice.
I'm waiting for some Spring flowers and then I will do another still life....will Spring EVER get here??

Buck Creek
I did two things today that I have not done in a long time. I painted a landscape. And I painted a landscape from a photo reference. It felt pretty foreign to me when I started..it took me three starts before I felt I was on to something worth continuing with!
Let me know what you think...I could use the feedback.
Thanks for viewing my art.
