Red Zinnias

Ah red. I am so attracted to this color. If you walk into my house almost every room has at least a little touch of red (not every room but almost!) My kitchen is painted a wonderful deep shade of red. The color of blood, red symbolizes life and vitality. It also symbolizes passion and fire. In Feng Shui, red is associated with romance, wealth, and happiness. I suppose it is no wonder I am attracted to it.

This painting is 12 inches high by 6 inches wide. It is painted on a gallery wrapped canvas, and the edges are finished off with a color that coordinates with the painting.

Lilacs and Forsythia

Today I'd like to share another little still life painting I just completed. It is oil on canvas, measuring 8x8 inches. It is done on a gallery wrapped canvas, and the edges are finished off in a color that compliments the painting:

This painting reminds me of springtime in Virginia. Forsythia abounds, as do azeleas, dogwoods and lilacs. It's supposed to be a snowy slushy mess today so spring is little early yet. But the optimist in me still contends that it is not far off. Meanwhile I wear long johns and paint.
