It seems fitting for the romantic holiday to host a show featuring my creative florals. A lot of flowers will be given that day; why not paintings of flowers? They can be just as beautiful and they last a good deal longer.
For the fun of it, here are some juxtapositions, mine with other classics. Check them out. You can click on the links for further info about each painting.
The show is both days of the coming weekend. Scroll to the bottom for the invitation and details. Realizing many can’t make the trip, everything is also available online. It’s all on my website here.
For the occasion everything will be discounted 50 percent from the website prices. If you find something of interest, let me know.
Now we know why she has that pleasant smile.
Tulips at Night, in its amazing frame.
Remember Claude Monet’s massive water lily florals? These are not them! But, like his, mine are definitely impressionism. And in this case, the pieces shown are appreciably smaller. See “Delightfully Pink” and “Delightfully White.”
Remember “Christina’s World? by Andrew Wyeth? Here she is longing after a recent work by me, “Gold in the Air.”
No, my work is not being auctioned off at Sotheby’s, but who knows, maybe someday. Meantime, check the (smaller than shown) “Verdant Breeze.”
Motorcycle Girls of Yesteryear stopping to pick up some choice paintings. All of these are works on paper. (Not shown to scale.) Left to right, “Eight Favorite Things,” “Red Poppies,” “Glory Morning,” “Bold in White and Orange.”
To illustrate, here’s one already sold, showing how my acrylic florals on paper can look matted and framed with non-glare glass.
“Oh no, I hope everyone one is getting my humor.” These are oil paintings, left to right: “Morning Joy,” “Flower Can and Apple,” “Goldenrod on Royal.”
Here Hans Holbein’s brilliant “Ambassadors” is representing my “Splendor in the Grass with Poppies.”
Here they are again, this time with the large piece, “Poppies, Period!“
Sargent’s “Madam X” peruses two stunning floral arrangements, just abstract enough to contrast well with his superb realism. Left, “Essence of Tulips 1,” and right, “Essence of Tulips 2.”
Finally, as a perfect climax for Valentine’s, an unknown, bringing it all home. My painting behind being “Lost in Thought,” appropriately named, don’t you think?
Notice the “and more” in the subtitle, meaning an array of other works will also be on view, as well as some great pieces by printmaker partner Anne Moore.
Speaking of that, we could also call this an anniversary sale, that date always following right after Valentine’s every year now for the last 56. Amazing.
