#11 of 30!
This was from a photo given to me by a friend of a beautiful snowfall in Maine. I'm not sure what kind of tree this is, maybe someone can tell me, but I just love the twists and turns in it. So much character, and of course I had to add my colorful twist to it!

My last flower from my little backyard series! When we moved into our home we already had a rose garden out back. I had never had roses before and was very excited. At first I thought for sure I could take care of them, but quickly realized I did not have the green thumb. Guess I should have already known that from the dead houseplants! Now I have a "Rose Guy" that gets all the credit for doing the proper things to create these beauties. (Bet he can't paint them though!) Enjoy!

Here is another flower from my backyard! I have Camellias that bloom in the Spring and the Fall, and this one lasted well into December.

I took some pictures in the Fall of flowers in by backyard and just discovered them in my camera a few days ago while photographing another painting! Nice surprise.....and just what I needed for today's challenge painting.

Another Landscape today! This was done from a photo I took off the deck of our lake home in S.C. I don't use red a lot, and I don't know exactly why, other than the color red in oil paint takes FOREVER to dry! I'm going to make a conscience effort to use it more often I believe!

Back to a landscape today. I love working in squares, they are just a little more contemporary, and they look good most anywhere. Check out all the shades of blue/greens in this one!

More lipstick......choose your color! Another one just for fun. This challenge has given me the opportunity to experiment with all kinds of things I never took the time to or was hesitant to do before. Subjects, colors, sizes, canvas types, paint, etc....some I will definitely continue to use, others maybe not, but DOING is always the best way to learn. Enjoy your Sunday!
