Moonlit Blossoms

The painting above is my first attempt in painting Dogwood blossoms. The composition is a composite of three detail photos of a large tree on the grounds of Westminster Presbyterian Church in Knoxville, Tennessee. Just a few days after I took the pictures, heavy rain damaged the blossoms. I felt fortunate to have taken the photos when I did. I chose to use blues and purples in the background to give the effect of twilight or moonlight,

Hello Genie,

I can't begin to describe the joy within as I scrolled through your blog!

Your work looks amazing!!!!

Currently, I'm taking a short acrylic class with my husband in hopes of getting my engines started with painting again.

I'm really enjoying it, although, I can't say the same for Juan. I love him mor for trying to share my passion.

we are enjoying life here in MD. I'm working ful time at Wellsfargo with forclosures.

Wish could chat longer but got duties to take of of (kids).

Hope Angela is behaving!!!

Say hello to everyone for me.
