2009I love painting flowers. My day at Schreiner's Iris Gardens was just one of many days spent painting there. In fact, my very first blog entry (almost two years ago) was from the gardens.
It never fails to happen that when I am painting big flower portraits, someone asks me if I am trying to paint like Georgia O'Keeffe. Don't get me wrong, I like O'Keeffe's work. I admire it and enjoy looking at it and studying it. I am reading a biography about her and her work, Georgia O'Keeffe: An Eternal Spirit by Susan Wright.
But O'Keeffe is not the only painter of flowers!
Here are some of the flowers I have painted in the last couple of years:
