Things I Love

Roses blooming in November
My hubby gathering a bouquet of roses before they freeze
Sharing a pot of tea and a gooey dark chocolate brownie with a dear friend

Flower Power

It's grey in my neck of the woods right now
So here is some 'Flower Power' to brighten your day!

Color Inspiration - Yellow Door

This bright yellow door caught my eye and is especially lovely paired with spikes of purple salvia.

Just as this scene has lots of colorful interest, depth can be added to any complementary color scheme by adding shadows and highlights of each color, and expanding with a second set of complementary colors to make a Tetrad (such as the grey-blue in the salvia stems and leaves of the curry plant)

Poppies

I love the way poppies heads seem too big for their stems, a burst of color bobbing in the wind.

This is another painting in my Poppy Series:

Color Inspiration - MT's Tail Light

My friend Michael Tomlinson - singer, songwriter, comedian, story teller, humanitarian... keeps me giggling with his tall tales (for some laughs read his facebook stories).

He also has an affinity for old vehicles. Don't you just love the colors of this one? Yellow and red with a smattering of rust, and even some mauve spider webs thrown in!

Buttercups

 

 

I know they are weeds...
But the flowers make me happy
