Sun Dappled Trees at Base of The Bluffs

 

Here is a small painting done a few weeks ago as the Rain cleared the sky and the sun hit the tops of the trees! They were fresh with rain water and glistening.

Red Cannas at High Noon in Tropical Greens

 

I love, love, love, Cannas! They grow to be 7 to 8 feet tall and add bright Reds to the garden. At noon those tropical greens with the reds are very dramatic!

Zinnia in the Noon Sun of the Old Cottage Garden Original Oil Painting by M. Ashley

 

This is the last Hurrah for this beautiful Pink Zinnia in My Garden. The days here have been rainy and cloudy for weeks! The sun broke out for just a few hours one day and this was so bright and pretty for just that time and now it is going to seed. Zinnias are really a bright spot in the old Cottage garden. The light is so bad that my camera did not pick up the subtle shade of dark greens in the background but they are there!

"The Shy Sun Flower From My Cottage Garden" Original Oil Painting by M. Ashley

 

I have been painting a lot of landscapes since the weather was now pleasant enough to be out and about. But, for the past two weeks it has been rainy. In the breaks in the weather the flowers are just popping out and just beautiful this year! The sunflowers were begging to be painted, so this is the first to have it's portrait painted. She is a shy one.

Fresh Apples From the Farm House Orchard Original Oil Painting by M. Ashley

They are fresh picked from the farm house Orchard down the road. The trees here are loaded with fruit, I'm not sure what kind they are, but very good flavor.

They have a few bug bites that I think look more natural, just apples with nothing added, no pesticides, no wax, just good fresh apples!

"The Queen of SunFlowers From My Cottage Garden" Original Oil Painting by M. Ashley

It's still raining here with brief periods of sunshine which turns the air to a sauna like atmosphere.

This Sunflower has a fan club of birds that keep coming by to see if it's ready for the feast!

Cabin on Buffalo River Early morning Original Landscape Oil Painting

One morning on my drive down to the Buffalo River, I took a detour to see what else I could find to paint. We drove down to the end of this gravel road to find the river was shrouded in fog. This cabin is at the Gilbert's place that sits up the hill from the river. It was so quiet you can hear the gentle ripples of the river rolling by.
