Dandylion

5x7 greeting card

original acrylic painting

Dandylions could be flowers, herbs, weeds or lunch! This painting looks a little like a pastel painting, although it is all painted using acrylics. I used bristle brushes mainly with a dry brush technique. You can view more paintings and cards on my website. SpohnStudio.com

Another type of lily today. Perhaps I will try another flower tomorrow. Didn't have time to work on my larger oil painting today. But at least I warmed up with my greeting card! Visit my website to see my paintings and other greeting cards. SpohnStudio.com

A fanciful lily graces this card. I have been paging thru spring seed and bulb catalogs. Lilies are so majestic and add so much wonderful color in the summer time. This card is frame-able and inspires thoughts of a regal summer. Visit my website to view more of my paintings and cards.  SpohnStudio.com

Card Bee Balm

Card Bee Balm

5x7 inches, original acrylic painting

Today's card features some bee balm. I used to have a wonderful stand of bee balm where I used to live. I planted them at the end of a drain pipe from a gutter in an enclosed cement bed. They loved it! Bee Balm do not do well in my yard here in Salida, it is too dry and they need lots of moisture. This painting is from some reference photos of my gardens in days gone by. These greeting cards painted on Strathmore's watercolor paper include a white envelope. They are blank inside. Visit my website to purchase these original hand-painted cards.  SpohnStudio.com
