Red Dahlia Garden - Diptych- A

Red Dahlia Garden- Diptych- side A

30 x 30

Original Oil Painting

I love how this garden piece has turned into a magical garden painting. This is side A, one half of this large diptych. If you listen carefully, you can listen in on the conversation between the two hares. Doesn't this inspire you to create a magical floral garden?

I am still painting the second half of this diptych, but hope to have it finished in the next couple of days. Stay tuned to see the final result. Visit my website for more information on all of my paintings. SpohnStudio.com

I started this garden painting several days ago, but just had time to finish it today. This garden looked so dainty and neat. It certainly represents summertime and summer flower gardens.

Windmill Daisy

Windmill Daisy

Acrylic Painting

(outdoor painting)

5.5 x 9 inches

This spidery daisy was so interesting in the reference photo. It reminded me of a windmill, as though it might twirl in circles at any moment. Oh, did you spot the caterpillar? This painting is another in my new outdoor series. Visit my website for more details.  SpohnStudio.com

Dancing Booby

Dancing Booby

Arcylic (outdoor painting)

16x20

I was drawn to those dancing blue footed boobies again today. Their coloring is so wonderful. They look so serious with their facial expressions and yet, they act kind of goofy and certainly look a bit weird. This is another painting in the Outdoor Series. Visit my website for more details.  SpohnStudio.com

Wow, up soooooooo early this morning I was in the studio painting before 9 AM. Normally, I do not start painting till 11 AM. So here is my first painting today. Yes, I am still enamored with these hares and rabbits. And who can resist them? Soft, furry, quiet vegetarians. Visit my website for more information.  SpohnStudio.com

Alley Poppies

Alley Poppies

(outdoor painting)

Original Acrylic

Another painting in my new outdoor series. These are the small size which are approximately 5.5" x 9". I will have a wire hanging system that will thread through those holes and will post an update when that part of the process is completed. These delightful double orange poppies grow in our alley. Well, technically, they grow by someone's house and into the alley. They do not receive any care, but still manage to bloom profusely year after year.  Check out my website to get more details on this painting.  SpohnStudio.com

Fiona, a second look

Fiona, A Second Look

8x8, original oil

Another version of Fiona, this time she is more simplified and painted mainly using my knives. How to decide? Texture or no? I like this simplified version. She appears timeless, and her eyes look up at the viewer, watching to see what is going on.  For more information on pet portraits, please visit my website: SpohnStudio.com
