My Favorite Tulips

 I haven't been able to find any bouquets or potted plant, parrot tulips this year but luckily I still have a lot of photos from the last ones I had a few years ago.

In Rita's Garden

Every year that we are in Sibley's Cove Newfoundland, we visit the garden of Rita Button.  It is a wonder of flowers and vegetables that she harvests and shares each year.  We are always told we "should have been here last week it was so much nicer then..." We love Rita and her garden even if we are never there in the best week.

Parrot Tulip

This small painting was for a holiday gift exchange with a painting group I belong to.  I love parrot tulips but haven't been able to find any locally for a few years.  This is from photos of the last parrot tulips I had probably 5 years ago.

Really using up the lino block...

 There wasn't anything left of the block when this one was finished.  Cactus bloom is 12 x 12, 13 color linocut reduction print on Thai Mulberry paper.  These cactus blooms used to be all along the road at the Fort Clinch beach access but they have kind of dwindled away in recent years.  I took the photos used for this at least 10 years ago now.

Stormy Bonavista

At the Cape
12 x 12 linocut reduction print 

 I have been back at printmaking and working on an image from this fall's trip to Newfoundland.  This is a hand printed 13 color reduction linocut print,  12 x 12, on Awagami Shiramine paper, edition of 6.  I was working with old, hard, crumbly linoleum that was in the studio but still  managed to get a print from what was at hand.

More Canna Love

The last canna bloom hung on until just this week and led to a small series from my garden photos of this past year.

A Little Marsh for this Windy Day

 It has been cold and windy here in NE Florida which may have influenced the painting of this little marsh scene.

Canna Lily

As the last of the canna lilies lose their blooms I painted a series of small oils to capture how amazing they were this year.  Here is the first of the four that came from this year's gardens.

Sketching Newfoundland

These 6 sketches from our recent trip to Newfoundland show some of my favorite hikes from this trip.  We had all the kinds of weather while there... They are all colored pencil,  6.5 x 9.5 (image size) on black watercolor paper.
