Pink Cosmos

Pink Cosmos, 6x6, oil

Waiting on some white oil paint so I can continue with my large painting, so I painted a small 6x6 inch painting instead. I like the joyful mix of colors as the pink cosmos dance about. You can purchase this painting on my Etsy store front. Also, take a bit of time to view my website: SpohnStudo.com

Starting a new painting

Just getting started on a new painting. Here is a preview of one small section that has been painted today.

Sometimes I some what draw out my painting with pastels. They are great as they have colors and when I paint a lot of flowers this map will keep me on the right track. As you can see, I do not do detailed drawings. Just whimsical scratches on the panel that let me know where I want to place each flower or critter.

Stay tune to see the final results.

Here is the painting a bit further along. There is still a lot to paint.... but you can see most of the flowers now.

Today's small painting came from two snapshots I took a bit earlier. The orange and yellow greens remind me that fall is approaching.  You can purchase this  painting on Etsy. Visit my website to view more paintings.

6x6 Oil

My zinnia's are mostly frost bitten now. A few of them struggle onward in these warmer days, so I thought I should paint them quickly. I did take lots of photos for this winter but thought a couple small paintings today would keep them fresh in my mind. You can purchase these paintings on my Etsy site.

Here is my second painting. There are some interesting purple red colors in some of these zinnias. I was trying to capture that color... but  think nature does it best.

White daisies always look so fresh and happy. They catch your eye even in a garden with many beautiful colors surrounding them. You can purchase this painting on my Etsy site.

Back in the studio again after my summer show season. It was a brisk day today with a lot of wind. I did manage to get a couple photos of some late summer flowers to paint. Fall looks like it has arrived. These reference photos are precious and will keep me painting all winter. Visit my website to purchase this painting.
