Thistle seeds


It's fall and the plants are sewing their seeds. That spiky thistle has the softest seeds that gently blow in the wind. It's no wonder the American Gold Finch birds choose this for their nests. The thistle is one of my favorite plants to paint.
This painting is 6 by 12 inches painted on canvas board with acrylic paint.

Nature's Treasures


It is wonderful to walk through the fields and woods and see all the different plants and flowers of nature. I gathered a few and came in to make an arrangement. I used 2 of Daniel Smith's watercolor trio sampler sets in making this painting. (Jaz and Northwoods) I love the challenge of a limited pallet.
Size: 8 by 7 inches
