Gerbera mix painting # 80

  SOLD

     Rainy Sunday afternoon.... no sunflowers at Whole Foods today, so went with these gerberas.   The first batch I cut a little too short, so, combined them for a mixed bouquet.   Fun, especially when I don't have to cook dinner, cause it's great leftovers from my birthday dinner last night at this cool Italian restaurant, Charlie Gitto's, on the "Hill" in St. Louis !!   How many times do I get so lucky that my family flys in from Dallas to join in the birthday celebration??  Thanks Brad and Michael, for making my birthday sooo special !

Juice glass with gerbera daisy Painting #55

 

   Love this little glass.  I found it in Alabama, too, at a different antique shop.  I passed up the identical one in blue.... Boy !, Now I wish I had bought that one, too..... such is life

Gerberas Painting #52

 

     Had to purchase these, mine are toasted, even though I've been watering them...  This heat has done a number on the lawn and gardens !

In the Studio Painting #42

 

     These daisies last a long time.... they are interesting to paint, because of the slight shadows that fall along the petals.  Included with the mason jar is the old zinc screw-on lid.

     While trying to get inspired to set up a new still life, yesterday, I looked down and saw this.... viola !  Leftover, who knew ?..ha ha

Gerbera Daisy Painting #24

 

     These always look so great at the nursery, then I bring them home.   Maybe I'll have to get some Miracle Grow to keep them blooming ! 

Single Gerbera - Painting #8

This is my favorite color, plus another couple I'm VERY fond of, but I love to wear this one!  I've always had several blouses and sweaters this color.   Love the daisies, too.

Gerbera Daisies #7

Do any of you remember these when we were kids?  I don't...  Maybe they were hybridized or something, but anyway, I love them...

I DO have the traditional daisies in my garden, and love those too !

'Gerbera Daisies'

6 x 6 oil on panel
75.00 + 6.00 s + h

Daisies are so perfect when you buy them, they almost look fake to me. I loved these little salmon colored ones. Challenging with all the petals, though, and I had them with a light source, which gave each petal numerous values.... ha !
