Flowers From Mr. Mike's

I bought these gorgeous flowers from a vegetable stand in Bonita Springs called Mr. Mike's. I love Queen Anne's Lace and was drawn to the contrast they offer in a floral set up. Florals are probably my most favorite thing to paint with the exception of the human face!. 12 x 16" Oil on Panel.

The Helpers

This painting

was inspired by a photograph in the 2016 Calendar of Jehovah's Witnesses. The women represent a few of the many volunteers in Dedza, Malawi who worked to build an Assembly Hall where Bible education will be available to the people in that area of the world. I love the explosion of color in their clothing and the beautiful smiles on their faces. 10 x 30" Oil on cotton stretched canvas.
