Dandy Lion


10x8" oil on canvas, SOLD

Every spring I wonder who decided that the dandelion is a pesky weed. I mean, they are really beautiful and grow without any encouragement. You can't say that about most flowers. My favorite part is the seed heads--what a great design! Each seed has it's own tiny parachute. So this painting is dedicated to all the little kids (and the big ones) who will help the Taraxacum Officinale in it's quest to cover the world with brilliant yellow flowers by blowing on it's fuzzy little head. And watching, in awe, as all those little parachutes make their way back to the earth! Go on, blow--you know you want to!

"Weed Whacker"


6"x 8" oil on canvas, SOLD

The artists of The Daily Painters Gallery all decided to submit paintings based on a theme today. The chosen theme is "weeds"--I guess many folks decided that, rather than pull them, they should paint them. At least for one day. So I felt I should do my part and offset all the really pretty paintings of dandelions and paint my version of a "weed whacker". Enjoy!
