Another day, another painting! A snowstorm kept me from leaving the house today - soooo frustrating when I am chomping at the bit to start a project!! Oh well, I paced the house for an hour and then sat down at my easel to play with my paints. This is what I came up with.
I messed around and started trying to paint snowdrops but failed miserably. I turned them into tulips instead and I'm quite pleased with the result.

And after a little added shading and definition, I framed the painting. I am still amazed by the transformation created by a simple frame.
Have a happy and creative week!

Oh Anne ... I love this ... you need to be housebound more often to turn out more beautiful painting.

ReplyDeleteWell at least you turned a negative into a positive Anne. Your painting is lovely and doesn't the black frame highlight the flowers.

I'm not a painter of anything so I am totally in awe of people who have the talent. You are seriously good. You should open an Etsy shop and sell this stuff!
ReplyDeleteThat's gorgeous, Anne, you're quite a talented artist.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Cindy

This is gorgeous, Anne! I've got my first snowdrops blooming now.
ReplyDeleteI am so envious..of your painting and your snow! You are really good at this girl! I get all intimidated thinking about shading and shadows and light when it comes to painting. Looks like you've got it down!
ReplyDeleteYou are so gifted, Anne. This painting is a lovely reminder of how glorious spring is. And you framed it perfectly.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! You definitely have a gift!
ReplyDeleteVery nice Anne. I love the way you framed it! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteVery nice, I love the way the tulips were arched to the right!
ReplyDeleteThat is a lovely painting - looks super in the frame. I love how artistic "failures" are reinvented as lovely artwork. HPPF
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely and really like it framed... it just finishes it off... hope you are totally thrilled with how it turned out...xx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful painting, Anne!
ReplyDeleteGlad you took advantage of being home-bound in the snowstorm to paint!
♥♥♥
Happy PPF!!

Your tulips are gorgeous! You've framed it very nicely.
ReplyDeleteAm loving your tulips with the snow coming down upon them. Happy PPF, Annette x
ReplyDeleteJust lovely, Anne. I love the quiet color palette and the way the tulips are grouped. Stay warm and happy PPF! - janice
ReplyDeleteSo PURDY!
ReplyDeleteLOvely! So pretty and fresh! Perfect frame for it, looks great! <3
ReplyDeletegorgeous painting Anne! I love days when I'm homebound (so long as it's not many days in a row)so I can be in my art room allday.
ReplyDeleteThe flowers are amazing. The saying is so appropriate by anais nin. Blessings, Janet PPF
ReplyDeleteI'm impressed Anne!
ReplyDeleteOh wow I'm chomping at the bit too! Does that make me sound like a horse! Is that even what that saying is referring to? I've never been good at idioms. My husband, on the other hand, uses them as his first language!
ReplyDeleteOh wow...am I on your blog? Sorry! Some things never change, right?
Yeah. I'd buy that painting and hang it on my gallery wall...you know when I get one!!! I have the wall, of course, but the gallery hasn't happened yet! But I do imagine such things...daily!
LOVE how painting grows into some other far out creation!
Hi Friend!

ps - Anais Nin is one of my personal favs!
So pretty, Anne!
ReplyDeleteAnne,
ReplyDeleteYou are such an amazing talent! Gorgeous! Can I leave a blanket statement on this post to cover the next few with paintings? I just love them all! Seriously. You are so talented. How did I not know of your amazing artistic skills? Power tools ... and acrylics! Your a force to be reckoned with!
:) Linda
You really captured the flowers and the feeling of rain! xo
ReplyDeleteIt's really beautiful! You have quite a talent. The shading and framing have really finished it off nicely. Oh Anne, you've made us all pine for the Springtime flowers ;)
ReplyDeleteOh, Anne ~ another absolutely beautiful painting!
