My Paintings

This weekend I spent a good amount of time painting.  I enjoy painting and am grateful to my sister-in-law Ashley for getting me back into it as a hobby.  It all started when she moved into her own apartment and she wanted a picture of a daisy on the wall but she wanted it to be purple with a green background to match some other things she had.  Sarah knew that I had done some drawing/art in the past (middle/high school) so she volunteered me.  I decided to take it on and really enjoyed it.  So over the last few years I’ve painted several other things for our house and for my parents house and some just for fun (the latest one has no where to hang currently).  So since it’s something I enjoy I thought I would share some with the blogging world.  So, below are photos of my paintings.  They are all acrylic on canvas.  I hope you enjoy (Sorry the photo's don't always turn out the best).

The Daisy that started it all

This was done for Ashley when she moved to a bigger apartment and had more wall space to fill. (this one shows the darker paintings better)

This one shows the white flowers better

This one was fun b/c it's really small (like 3"x 3")

For Sarah, Hanging in our living room

An African Landscape I gave to my Grandparents (who were missionaries in Africa)

A field of flowers for my Mom

My most recent, a landscape of Barga, Italy
