Floral Fling: This Week's Paintings (So Far...)

No, The PlayList hasn't hit the airwaves (or my easel) yet, BUT I've been painting up a storm using some inspiration from a recent stroll through fabric and home decor shoppes.  I was consulting on drapery upholstery and found a windfall of happenstance enchantment with the colors and textures.  Although the drapes are in a stately black, tan, and burgundy sateen weave, my creative musings lingered on Asian-echoing florals and silky shimmers.  Thus, a botanical bonanza of sorts on canvas emerged.  Well, okay -- not all of my musings were shiny petals.  There are some old pieces newly completed and a random faux label or two in the mix, as well.  Enjoy!

In Honor: "Giant Pear"

(Yes, "Giant Pear" recently went to the home of one of my most treasured people ever.  I truly miss it, but know it is well loved, AND, I'm making an even BIGGER pear for the lonely spot on the wall.  Watch for pictures.)
