Inspiration of Roses

When the Rose is Faded by Walter de la Mare
When the rose is faded, Memory may still dwell on Her beauty shadowed, And the sweet smell gone. That vanishing loveliness, That burdening breath, No bond of life hath then, Nor grief of death. 'Tis the immortal thought Whose passion still Makes the changing The unchangeable. Oh, thus thy beauty, Loveliest on earth to me, Dark with no sorrow, shines And burns, with thee.

About This Painting: I got out of my car a few days ago and caught on my grill was a dragonfly. He had been baked to a crisp but was still had all of his parts, so I carefully picked it off and put it in a box for a reference for my paintings when I need a dragon fly.

Pelican

I recently went to Ocracoke Island a small island off the coast of North Carolina on the Atlantic Ocean. I took lots of pictures and did a few drawings while I was there. I am now turning them into paintings. This watercolor of a Pelican is the first from that trip.

Tulips No 4

I did a smaller version of this Tulip painting earlier this year which I sold. I have had many requests for a larger watercolor of Tulips like the small one so I have painted this one. I am thinking of painting another one even larger with darker, bolder colors.

Sunflower Seeds


Watercolor painting of sunflower seeds and a little information on the use of sunflower seeds, after all all those wonderful flowers start here.

For commercial purposes sunflower seeds are classified by the pattern on the seed husk.If they are solid black they are used for oil and bird feed.If the Hull is striped like the ones I have painted they are used for food because they are low in oil content.Sunflower seeds can be sprouted and used in salads.

Sunflower sprouts are produced using the methods one would use for most seeds. Begin with hulled seeds, soak overnight in water. Then drain off the loose inner hulls (important!), and put the soaked seed in the sprouting environment - jars, cloth, or commercial sprouter, for about 1 day. Removing the inner hulls is very important, as if left in, they will spoil and ruin your batch of sprouts. The sprouting environment can be glass jars with plastic screen lids (propped up at 45 degree angle), or the seed can be placed between damp cotton washcloths, on flat-bottomed bowls or saucers.

White Petunias

White Petunias is a paint the garden of graceful flower shapes. This painting is nothing like O'keeffee's "Purple Petunia". Like Georgia O'keeffee I take my own ideas into my flower paintings and create paintings that are organic and colorful.
