Norma Wilson Original Oil Floral Garden Flowers Painting Art

Dancing Divas!

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?

Purchase Information

On Tuesdays, I teach an Acrylic class and we painted coneflowers.  I learned that this pretty flower is where echinacea comes from that we take to help when you feel a cold coming on.  It always amazes me how people figured out how to use these remedies in the first place.  I really had a blast painting this and so did my students!  Have a wonderful Thursday!

Didn't quite finish the last highlights yesterday so I wait until today to post it.  I really had fun with this one and painted it very slowly and deliberately which helped to keep my brushwork fresh!  I do love sunflowers!  Hope you like this one too!  I always welcome comments!  Hope your weekend is going well.  I stayed in most of the day with my dog, Bailee, and grand puppy Jet at my side.  He came for a sleepover and brought his giant bed.  It has been difficult for him to sleep in his own bed because little Bailee is lounging in the middle of it, convinced that she is entitled to sleep in it.  Why do little dogs think that way?  I also worked on a beach scene today that I will post tomorrow.  Take care and thanks for stopping by!

Norma Wilson Original Oil Poppy Floral Painting Art

Today's post is a 20" by 20" painting on gallery wrap canvas with 1 3/4 inch sides. It is currently on auction on eBay. The past couple of days have been very busy as my son Sean just got a black lab puppy! He is adorable and I haven't been able to spend as much time at the easel. That's why I didn't post last evening....that's my excuse and I'm stickin' with it! Things should pick up again as we adjust to the new fella. Just when we do....they will be leaving to go back to Virginia Tech. Here is today's painting! Click to Bid!
