Two Zinnia Paintings
A while back I had the best special request ever for a painting of an orange zinnia in a small star design glass... subject matter that had special meaning for this dear requester. I've been waiting for my zinnias to grow, and a few of them have, but not bloomed yet. I'm not even sure what color they will be when they bloom. Well, a couple of days ago I found the perfect little orange zinnia plant in the garden center. The first one was such fun that I've done a second one so she'll have more choices. You can see in the top painting, done second, that I loosened up a bit and have more paint going on.
8" square acrylic on gallery wrapped canvas. SOLD

Jelly glasses! Or are those the ones that cheese spreads came in. Love them! Gorgeous as always. :)
Love them both but partial to the top one!!
Thanks Linda. I think I was inspired by your loose brushwork. I really enjoy the fluidity that you get.
Kath, I remember these as the cheese spread containers. I think my grandmother (we never had such delicacies at home) buying a sort of cream cheese with chopped olives in them. I'm also having a vague memory of shrimp cocktail in them. Thank you for the painting comment!
