Amaryllis

I have a beautiful amaryllis growing at home. For the past several years, I've tried to grow amaryllis every winter without much success. This year, my mother gave me a bulb that has amazed us all. I really can't take credit for its success; my husband has tended it daily with his "green thumb". There are two bulbs growing; one has already burst open with four enormous bright, red flowers and a second bulb is quickly shooting up. This is a watercolor sketch of one of the flowers. I'll have more amaryllis pieces to share soon!

Red Rose

Pink Rose

Yellow Rose

I created a series of roses for Valentine's Day. This is the first piece. The background is painted with gouache paint and the rose is cut out from gouache-painted paper.

White Poinsettia

Golden Tiger Lily

Summer Orchid

A fresh summer orchid to brighten your day!

Sunrise Orchid

Wouldn't it be lovely to welcome every day with a sunrise orchid?

Moonlight Orchid

This is the second piece in my orchid series. This orchid made me think of the moon shining in a midnight sky, hence the title "Moonlight Orchid".

Spring Orchid

I'm pleased to share my first piece in a new series of orchid collages. I received a stunning fuschia orchid as a gift about a month ago. The flowers are continuing to bloom beautifully and I've wanted to interpret it artistically. This weekend, inspiration hit and I began work on this series. Speaking of orchids, did you know that vanilla is part of the orchid family?

Red Gerbera Daisy

I'm really enjoying creating this series of gerbera daisy pieces. They are such sunny, bright flowers!
