Painting: Peony
This one is 24 X 36, a respectable flower by any measure. These two paintings will be available at Aurora Gallery (see address in sidebar) in a week or so, as soon as they are framed. Anyone interested in some flower power?

Painting: Gerbera daisy
I love flowers. I love to paint flowers, too. This flower seemed like a good idea when I started. It's bold and bright and beautiful. I put down my under painting and blocked in my dark and light pattern.
Then I started to paint. Man, there are a LOT of petals on a gerbera daisy. Lots of them. Should I paint all of them? Should I paint a few? Suggest some? Leave some out?
And the biggest question of all:
Why didn't I think of these things before I started?

Next time I'll consider painting a tulip.
