"Study for Sunset Reflections" is a pencil study I completed for my book. The title comes from the time of day when I photographed this rose. The last of the summer sun was coming through the window and it really bounced the rays around. I hope to paint this and the other two vases that were beside it as the three were so beautiful!pencil study I just completed for my book.

'October Harvest" came about while visiting an antique sale. I spotted this wagon and having never seen one of such a color I quickly saw many possibilities for it! I hope to use it again as the wonderful rust patterns were very interesting and fun to paint. These old wagons sure bring back childhood memories and bring a smile to my face.

"Rejoice" I did a step by step of this painting in my book and used some Jo Sonja paints to do some of the background. The computer is not doing it justice for all the detail and the color brilliance that is acquired by using such strong complements. When I see a grouping of hollyhocks, I always think of a church choir singing something wonderful and the sound reverberating!
