Spring flowers

It's spring time in Canada, yay! With all the little leaves and buds blooming all around, the hubby got me a beautiful spring bouquet of flowers consisting of yellow daisies and Peruvian lilies. I was photographing them the other day, and realized that they are totally worth a shot at painting.

Here's the original shot if you're interested in my photography skills :).

I loved using the bright colors on my palette on a gorgeous day like today - happy yellows and reds and greens. As Joey says, what's not to like :). I feel like doing another one of these with just the peruvian lilies.. I think that would come out nice too..

I hope they make you as happy as they make me. 

Kitty Cat

We have an adorable little visitor during the non-winter months. He's our neighbour's cat, who has formed a very loving bond with us, even though we don't feed him. He loves my lap, and purrs satisfactorily when I pet him. He makes me smile, and I call him my stress reliever. So one fine day, I decided to paint him.

This, my friends, is Mango. I love his petite nosey with the little black spots on him.
I really enjoyed painting him. It has been a couple of weeks since I finished this painting. It's Acrylic 12 x 12.

I hope you like it too!
