Why Not A Dandelion Bouquet?

Why Not A Dandelion Bouquet?  8 x 8 acrylic on gessoboard  SOLD

Another painting featuring my young neighbor, who thinks dandelions are fine candidates for a bouquet. Frankly, I find their jaunty yellow heads kind of cheerful in the spring -- I like to think of them as merely a VERY hardy perennial.

Wild Strawberries

Wild Strawberries  8 x 8 acrylic on gessoboard

It's snowing here, so a memory of summertime seems welcome.  This is my young neighbor, who is a delight to paint, but too shy to pose for me.  Means I have to catch her unawares, such as when she's picking the wild strawberries that grow all over my backyard in the summer.  They're the tiniest berries, but they're perfect miniatures of their farm-grown counterparts.
