"Miss Magnolia" - SOLD

12x12" oil on masonite

I had to break out a tube of thalo red rose for this one. Alizarin just wasn't cuttin' it!

I love the look of blossoms against a clear blue sky. I've been seeing them everywhere for the past few weeks. It's actually starting to feel like spring which is strange since the last month felt like summer. Crazy weather here in the Bay Area.

The title for this painting was inspired by a song by Matt Costa, one of my favorite singer/songwriters. I usually listen to Pandora when I paint. "Matt Costa Radio" is perfect paintin' music.

"City Blossoms"

8x6" oil on hardboard

"Cherry Blossoms"

7x5" oil on masonite

I thought I had missed my chance to paint cherry blossoms this year since the ones near my house had already fallen off the trees. However, while out walking with Merci in her lovely new neighborhood, we came across a whole street full!
