Pink Phlox

Pink Phlox
6x6 original Oil painting

There is a lot going on in this small painting. But the pink phlox comes out as the focal point. Instead of focusing on details, this painting is meant to be viewed with 'soft focus'.  Just squint your eyes a bit... To purchase this painting or others please visit my website - SpohnStudio.com

Orange and Pink Floral

Orange and Pink Floral
6x6 original oil painting
Flowers growing, blooming, competing for sunlight. My gardens are FULL and I am guilty of not thinning out the self-seeded nor the spreading plants. This results in a jumble of flowers and colors, over-lapping, and presenting a wild display. Visit my website for information on purchasing and to view other paintings.  SpohnStudio.com

Summer Zinnias

Summer Zinnias
6x6 original oil

Birds, butterflies, moths and bees all love zinnias. These wondrous flowers come in all sizes, but I tend to favor the large ones. Next year I plan to start them inside growing them from seed. This past year I planted the seed in pots in the late spring. They did sprout and have grown tall and sturdy. They are flowering now and I am amazed at their beauty and their size.

Red Frilly Sunflowers

Red Frilly Sunflowers

These red and yellow frilly sunflowers are a treat to see. I planted some seeds but only one plant came up. I suspect they are not as hardy as other sunflowers. They have smaller blossoms with the look of unkept hair. Visit my website to purchase.  SpohnStudio.com
