Norma Wilson Original Oil Floral Garden Flowers Painting Art



Dancing Divas!

SOLD

 © Norma Wilson, original oil on canvas 6" by 6"



Love the light on these sweet flowers and how they seem to be dancing! O.k. so you have to use your imagination. :-) As I am SO VERY excited to be back in my home after six years of beach and then city life, each day is so special as I appreciate things such as having my own garden again. I have oodles of space for new plantings but out front I still have a few perennials that made it through the six years that I was away and renters who didn't quite love them as much as I do. I took a picture today of my first Shasta daisies standing tall by my front steps! I have been talking to an expert in native plants for our
area and hope to add some more to the front soon. Perhaps some wild azaleas and ferns.
I didn't even know the value of using native plants and just how many common flowers and shrubs are not native to our area. Less water, fertilizer, and pesticides are just a few
benefits. And the bees, insects and birds are happier too. See how much my life is enriched by having a garden again?

Thirty Paintings In Thirty Days! - Day Fifteen



Momma Bear

24" by 30" gallery wrap

1875.



For me, this was a large painting and I began it in class this evening as a demonstration and was able to finish it in time to get it posted tonight.  I loved every minute of painting it and can't wait to paint more larger pieces.  It will be going to one of my galleries in the coming weeks unless you must have it!  Just don't wait because they are wanting some larger works from me.  Hope your week is going great!  I will take a better picture of this tomorrow in daylight and there shouldn't be as much glare on it.  Several of my smaller works from this challenge are going into a show and I will be dropping them off tomorrow.  What a busy week but as stressful as this can be at times...I am getting some painting done!  That's for sure.

Thirty Paintings In Thirty Days! - Day Fourteen


Sweet Bella!

2.5 by 3.5

Today was a super busy day which began with an oil painting class that I teach at Town Center.  We did a paint along and then I had an acrylic class to teach at the Oceanfront.  When I came home I got back to painting after dinner.  I had hoped to post my painting from this morning which is an 18 by 24 but after working on it for awhile, I realized that I didn't want to rush it so that left me with a painting to do for my challenge.  I chose a baseball card size canvas and got to work on my favorite subject...a sweet cow named Bella.  After awhile, I realized I was holding my breath...hopefully tomorrow won't be quite as rushed. :-)  This will make a nice study for a larger piece.  I will repost in the morning after taking a less shiny picture in the daylight.  I only realized today that my mailing list was not receiving my blog daily blog posts for the entire challenge so far!  I took care of the problem which involved an email of mine that went inactive.  So sorry for the lapse.  Have a wonderful day!

Thirty Paintings In Thirty Days! - Day Thirteen

       

Big Bear!

6" by 6" original oil on panel

I am never quite sure what the next day will bring.  I teach all day tomorrow so I may be doing a baseball card size painting tomorrow...perhaps a cow!  This can get pretty intense when you don't paint more than one on quite a few days.  But it is good discipline!  I even worked out which is my other discipline that I am developing.  Thanks so much for checking with me!  Have a great day!
