Did you know it's daylight savings this weekend? 

Rose Red - daily painting, floral

6x8" oil on panel. Rose Red - snow day today! thankfully had my box of paints and an extra panel still in the car.
None of my boys would sit still long enough to do a portrait so the roses won out. I used the same flat brush for the whole thing and tried to keep it simple. pleased with the results.
and below - well seriously how can you resist playing in all this sticky snow? ( fave part is the jar with candle in his hand)

#1 feb. Portrait -,people Do What You Love - February

4x10" oil .

Over on facebook weve got a little group going for the month - a 'do something creative, something that you love a little every day' kinda thing.

For me -since i already paint a lot - its all about faces,people,portraits - a favorite subject of mine and also getting back to doing it EVERYDAY.

So bear with me while i get my portrait chops back and maybe you'll be inspired to do something too!!
