Poinsettia - Perfectly Peachy



Poinsettia - Perfectly Peachy
10x8, soft pastel
This is my final poinsettia for this season and one of my favorite color varieties. She’s so dramatic! I painted this one 99% on location in Edwards Greenhouse (our favorite plein air location during the winter months). When I finished all the other artists were long gone. I guess I was truly “in the zone”. This particular pot of poinsettias was massive and the unique color just drew me in.  I hope you like it too…it will be sold unframed, but it sure looks great in a gold frame.

A Year In Review


 2023 - A Year In Review

It’s December 2023 and I’m strategizing for 2024. Honestly, creating blog posts has been something I really enjoyed in the past but I fell away from the habit over time (especially during the COVID years). I originally started blogging to track my own progress and did very little to promote it. If you’ve found this blog post…then welcome. I hope you enjoy reading a little bit about each painting.

2024’s strategy is “getting back to basics”. To that end…let’s wrap up 2023 with a few paintings since my last post.
