A while back, while driving through the countryside, I saw on the verandah of an old farmhouse, a curtain blowing against the peeling wood and the lady of that house put some sunflowers out on an old table beside the window. I always kept that picture in my mind and decided to paint it, but in doing so, I put a few other items in the picture to make it more of a scene. This is what I ended up with. I love cherries, blossoms of any kind, wine and especially white lace. Can't beat that!

"COLLARD FLOWERS"
As a child in Lincoln, New Brunswick, I used to play with my friends at their family farm. On one special Sunday afternoon there was a horse collar just hanging on the old wood door of the barn and I started hanging flowers in it from the nearby garden. That memory stayed with me all my life and I eventually got to task and painted it.

THAILAND FLORAL
Our daughter backpacked across Thailand and Burma and sent this picture home via her blog. I loved it so much because of the contrast between the white and black with a hint of green and yellow. Striking! I don't at the present time, know the exact name of the flower but certainly know that it is a species of Thai Water Lily.

MORNING ROSES
I love the way the morning captivates the rose while it is still sleeping; all tucked inside itself until the light of day awakens the petals.

SUNLIT VICTORY!
The Sunflower stands so proud and regal above all other flowers on a single stem. They are so brilliant and proud, especially when they are near the weathered walls of an old-forgotten barn or house.

I love the Tuscan look of this window and the reflections in it. The flower pot adds a touch of color to the otherwise pale background. I thought this was something different for me to try and I like the results.

Red barns are one of my favorite buildings to paint because of the sun-washed aging of the wood. I decided to put some brown-eyed Suzies in front of the wood to set off the color.

This painting was completed for a group show at The Bread Gallery in Brooklyn, NS. The show was entitled "Long Winter Nights". I thought this cold window would envision a family keeping warm by candlelight on the inside.

I loved the roses and peonies that I have at the front walkway of our home. To gather them in a bouquet and set them on the table in a vase of dark contrast colors made me think of the whimsy style of hats that women wear. Crazy eh?

I love sunflowers, especially mixed with other Fall colors. These started out as daisies and I played with them until they became sunflowers. I guess they were meant to be just that from the get-go!

This was my first attempt at painting flowers and the piece sold within a few days at a local group showing. I apologize for the quality of the photo as my camera was not the best and I hadn't a chance to get a better shot before the painting sold.
