No sleep #485

Daily painting #485 4"x6" oil on primed canvas panel

Up and awake early this morning after a rather sleepless night. It is HOT and my mind seems to be spinning! It's like I just couldn't find the off button enough to settle into a deep sleep. Today is going to be a struggle....and insomnia must be the worst form of torture!

Yellow pincushion #484

Daily painting #484 6"x6" oil on primed canvas panel 

Proteas are South Africa's national flower and there are thousands of different varieties. The pincushion is just one of the many and the bright coral red is the most common thereof. Today I managed to find some pretty yellow pincushions. In the summer heat proteas tend to last a bit longer than other cut flowers so hopefully I will get to enjoy this one for longer than a few days!

Summer roses #480

Daily painting #480 6"x8" oil on primed canvas panel

Summer time is never a good time to keep roses inside. It is hot and I find they don't last too long in a vase so I haven't had any roses around the house in ages. They wilt off quickly sometimes before the buds have even opened! These roses however are hanging in there....and I am wilting in the heat instead!
