Windmills and Tulips
This month I had a request from a store, asking if I had any Spring flower prints on canvas they could sell on consignment. I thought I could paint for them and for the gallery at the same time and thus: Spring flowers, tulips, windmills, swans... this was my train of thought for what I decided to hang in the gallery this March. I finished two of the paintings but not the third so I guess I'll hang the swans in the gallery next month. I have a show in Santa Cruz tomorrow that I have to pack for, but I really want to get back to painting the swans (finished 6 but 9 more to go...) And by the way, the store decided they didn't want the Spring flowers after all, but now I have three paintings I'm glad to have brought into the world because of their request.

Filoli Garden House Tree with Tulips
Here's a different kind of painting for me. I saw this tree in a beautiful little garden house at Filoli in Woodside, CA. It captured my imagination and I just had to paint it. In front of the other window in this house was a very large birdcage with two doves in it (a subject for a matching painting to come.) Last year I thought I'd enter them both into a juried art show at Filoli. I planned early and started it well ahead of time. However, it turned out that they changed the subject of the art show to botanical flower paintings! Mine is more fanciful and not as realistic as they may want for a botanical painting, but I may just enter it anyway. What do you think?
