This oil painting of red tulips with white edges might need a little tweaking, but basically it is finished. I put on some Mozart to listen to while I painted last night..... it helps ;-)

Iris Garden Dance
"Iris Garden Dance"
18" x 24" oil on gallery-wrap canvas
Available
I felt a real sense of accomplishment when I completed this painting this Saturday afternoon. Hope you enjoy all my hard work ! Painting is such a pleasure to me that I actually don't feel like it is work at all.
This painting turned out somewhat impressionistic compared to my other subject matter; but, that is okay with me.

Almost There !
Work In Progress
Iris
18" x 24" Oil on gallery-wrap canvas
It doesn't look like I spent about 4 more hours on this painting since I last posted , but I did. It still has a ways to go, but I believe in one or two more painting sessions it will be finished.
For some reason I have been fascinated by taking reference photos of the moon the last few weeks. How romantic, right ? Yep, my cat and I sit out on my lanai (patio) at weird hours of the night and early morning and we enjoy nature together ! Below are a few shots I have taken of the moon in a couple of different stages .
The third photo from the top does not clearly depict the red circle on the outside of the "halo" around the moon...nor other colors as well. Still it is very good for reference. I am not sure how I will use these photos in a painting other than in landscapes and seascapes.
I also worked on my flamingo painting some more today. I have been busy working, just painting too slow to have a finished work until a day or two from now. Thank you for stopping by and visiting today !

Getting There !
Iris - Work In Progress
stage 2
18" x 24" Oil on gallery-wrap canvas
This is coming along fairly well. My reference photo along with the first stage of the painting was posted here this past Sunday, November 13; if you would like to see them, just scroll down to that post below. This painting may be too wet to work on tomorrow so I will go back to working on my flamingo. The reference photo for that painting is right here :
I started this on an 8" x 16" canvas; wish now I had used a larger canvas, but I do enjoy working on 8x16 panels or canvas. Please check back soon for progress on this painting !

Serious About Cereus
"Serious About Cereus"
Work In Progress
12" x 12" Oil on canvas
This is the beginning stages of a "serious" bee within the huge, lovely cereus cactus blossom; the cactus famous for and sometimes called 'the night-blooming cactus' . The bee is definitely serious about his job, but I have a feeling he was having a good time as well :-)
Below is my photo reference for this painting.
Every year in July these beautiful blossoms appear on a somewhat trailing vine-like branch of the cactus. I have many reference photos I have taken of them. This, however, will only be the second time that I have actually painted this flower. Below is the other painting.
