Flower Garden (Day 7--out of order!)

Day 7 in the 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge. Watercolor, 6"x6". I was behind in the challenge in the first week, and somehow totally missed #7! So I'm adding it now. I love the summer garden--hollyhocks, sunflowers, roses, clematis, and lots of annuals. But I'm getting less and less interested in planting it all, and the upkeep! So each year my garden gets a little less colorful. Now my husband is eyeing all the garden space for veggies. I did that for a while--I'm glad he's taking a turn at it. ;)

Stained Glass Garden 6x6 oil/palette knife painting

Day 28 in the 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge
OK, this one is a little silly, but I'm feeling the crunch here at the end of the challenge--I need to get ahead by two days before our vacation comes up. This is a technique that I've been wanting to try, which I would have done in acrylic, but felt it would work in oil, too. I used the palette knife shape to make the red and pink flowers, and bottles and bottle caps to make the other shapes, including the blue flowers. Then palette knife to put in stems and leaves. It was fun and quick!

Red tropical hibiscus--my favorite color of all of them, although the yellow and pink and salmon are gorgeous, too. So many flowers, so little time!
