This is another painting I painted for our Caboose show inspired by old Masters paintings. This is a painting inspired by Georgie O'Keeffe's big flowers. 20 X 24 gallery wrapped canvas with sides painted to match painting so no frame needed. A quote from Readers Digest explains O'Keeffe as larger then life just as her paintings were often larger then life, so too were the lore & legends surrounding this extraordinary woman. I used a artificial poppy to paint this flower. O'Keeffe used artificial flowers too because living in the dessert live flowers weren't as easy to come by as the artificial ones. Our reception will be tomorrow night 5:00 to 7:00 at the Heritage Museum in Big Spring.

This is another painting I finished in Jan van Huysum's style. Jan painted mostly still-life set ups of flowers & fruit. He was a painter during the 18th century & one of the first flower painters to use the dark backgrounds to make his flower colors pop. This was done in the old Master's style on
