Let's spread some happiness with this colorful maple leaves in yellow, orange, red, green, blue and purple happily dancing across the paper in this hand-painted acrylic painting.
I inherited this yellow bearded Iris plant from my grandma years ago. Every summer their beautiful bright yellow flowers remind me of my grandma and her beautiful garden.
A new painting after a long time... Not sure I have it in me anymore...
I had to paint some swallows because they're trying to make a nest in our house. Unfortunately, that part of the house is going to be sealed off within 2-3 months (it currently is wide open because our house is not finished, and because if we don't seal off that part, we can't get house insurance), so the worst thing that could happen to them is not being able to return to their babies. So we keep destroying their barely-started nest, daily (because they keep coming back). It sounds cruel, but it's the right thing to do. We already have another swallow nest on an external part of the house, and that's all good. We love to have them there, swallows are great and very smart birds.
It has been many years since this combination of red poppies and blue delphiniums bloomed in a bed in my garden. In the meantime, other flowers have long since taken their place. The memory is preserved through this watercolor painting.
