Wicker Chair and Blooms

24x18 watercolor painted today on Canson 140 lb cold press paper, wet on dry using large round brush.  There's something special about my old white chair next to fresh flowers.  I've painted the chair mint green, then lilac, and may put its white back.  Of course our blooms were not this prolific but if you are a painter you make up your own little corner of the garden.  Come on over and sit a spell!

Signs of Spring (oil)

18x24 oil on canvas of pink geraniums in white wicker chair, a simple porch floral still life scene set up which I also did in watercolor, a recent post.  The silk flowers were placed into a heavy pale blue basket and morning sun gave nice colorful cast shadows on the chair back.  I still have the chair but it is spray painted lilac.  This work is SOLD.

Signs of Spring

16x20 watercolor of pink geraniums in my old white wicker chair, painted wet in wet on 140 lb paper/Daniel Smith and DaVinci paints.  Seeing geraniums each year for the first time always lets us know it is Spring. I also painted the same porch scene in oil and that version has been purchased by a private collector.

Abilene Antique Quilt

15x11 watercolor of an old worn out white wicker chair with handmade quilt thrown over its back, a scene in Abilene, TX antique store. I was shopping the flea market route along with my youngest brother and cousin when we found this tiny store.  Look closely and you can see the chair springs where its seat was.
