Feels like forever until cosmos bloom again, but for now I am very much enjoying the snow and below freezing temperatures. I like cozy things too.

Who doesn’t?

Whimsy / 6x6 in. oil & graphite

#art #flowers #painting #botanicalart #sciart #floralpainting #cosmos #ArtAdventCalendar
a small square botanical style oil painting with a neutral background and three cosmos flowers. from left, one fully open white one is awaiting and approaching bee, which is drawn in graphite. The middle one is the tallest and is white and just beginning to open. The far right bloom is in a tighter bud but the burgundy petals are visible and barely beginning to open. An ant is crawling up the middle stem.

Painted flowers surrounded by real flowers. Pretty poetic, don't you think?

A photo of the display of my work. Four botanical paintings of tulips, dahlias, peonies, and magnolias are hanging on the wall. And a table with a red covering is below with an assortment of my floral notebooks (and one snarky skeletal hand flipping the bird notebook) This photo has three round wood panels with a black border featuring botanical style paintings of dahlias... Gingersnap dahlia, a red mignon seedling, and Platinum Blonde dahlia. Above is a graphic with Whitford at Malvern Flowers, their address: 142 W. King St., Malvern, PA 19355, and phone: 610-647-9311

Today was filled with #gratitude. I’m grateful for those willing to live with my work, those who send messages about #paintings they love, and nerdier messages about the table of contents in my notebooks… it’s the little things that truly bring us joy. And joy is one of the reasons I paint. #art

Whimsical and fun, but also poetic reminders of the fragility of beauty. Cosmos bring joy to the garden. At sunset, I walk by gently petting snoozing bumblebees while whispering goodnight. Details in ALT text.
