Rose Bush Peppers and Marigold

20 x 10 plein air painting of a volunteer Pepper plant that took root and then took over the Marigolds. All that is seen here of the rose bush is just branches and leaves, but I felt they were a delicate interesting pattern against the blue vase.

Volunteer Sunflower

Out behind the studio are flower gardens and fruit trees. This spot has a weathered old bird feeder perched on a pole, surounded by flower pots and trees. This sunflower took hold and sprouted from the bird seed, finally sporting this glorious flower head. I just love sunflowers.

Pink Petunias

Captivated by the sprawl of blossoms decoratiing and spilling out off the pot. The turquoise band framing the flower heads was irresistable color compliments.

Trailing Queens Wreath

The flowing cacophony of flowering vines.

Zinnias

Radiant orange framed against a blue pot.

Roses and Saguaro

A Sonoran saguaro catus providing a cool backdrop for the rose blossoms.

Kolanchoe

Loved the abstract chaos of these flower pots stacking on one another.

Swis Chard and Flowers

Some nasturtiums sprung up in a pot filled with mature swiss chard. I loved the shape of the dangling chard leaves and the accenting orange notes of the blossoms.
