Pensé
(16" x 8", oil on canvas)

I do not paint many florals, but when I do, I generally prefer spare "arrangements" of common flowers. My goal here was a simple thought, or pensé, done with very few flowers and a bright palette.

Red Charm
(12" x 12", oil on canvas)
This size canvas benefits by sure brush work, one stroke, not ten, with the aim of keeping a freshness to the painting. While this can mean the work is done more quickly, it has to be done with forethought and a good dose of confidence. Often more hours go into smaller works, more thought, less actual painting time.
