Calla Trio

I am teaching one day workshop this Saturday to a group of friends. Painting a Vase with flowers was requested for this painting project. We wanted something simple and identified a photo from Wetcanvas Reference Library that seemed simple to do. So this is how the completed painting will look like:

Wild Strawberry Bloom - SOLD

In our backyard there was a very small plant of Strawberry and the gardner cleaned the rest. Between spring and now the whole empty patch is covered with this plant and it even has mini strawberries! Few plants still have such blooms and that inspired me to paint this on one of my mini canvas. This is #3 in the itty bitty series of paintings. It can be displayed on a mini canvas on a small easel or can be used as a christmas ornament!
Let me know how you like it.

Best Friends - Lorikeets

Their color inspired me to paint it, and their pose suggests as if they have been "best friends" since long time!

These are a pair of Rainbow Lorikeets are colorful parrots found in Australia, Indonesia... A lot of people have such Lorikeets as pets too. I am not sure if I am ready to have such pets, but I had fun fun fun painting them!
