Flowers

    The Winter months usually bring a temporary halt to painting outside in the landscape, even though I love the light and muted colors I see everywhere. To keep me busy, I've been working on some paintings of flowers that are around our house (courtesy of my wife, Faith Evans-Sills) These are mostly small, quick paintings, something that I can finish in 1 sitting, usually around 3 hours. The high key colors I find exciting, with the reds, pinks and yellows something that normally doesn't sneak into my paintings. Who doesn't need more flowers in their life?...
