Description: With acrylic paint, I painted these tiger lily flowers from an inspiration of those in our yard. I used black paper to give more depth to the bunch of flowers. This painting is part of my series of flowers painted on black paper. Vibrant orange tiger lilies flourish amid lush green foliage, creating a striking contrast against a dark background. The intricate details in the petals and leaves bring the scene to life with depth and movement.

Description: This is my watercolor painting of some flowers in an old tin cup. A watercolor depiction of flowers in a tin cup uses soft hues of blue, green, and brown. The composition appears simple yet expressive, with abstract shapes and gentle color blending.

Description: This is my acrylic painting of some smoky bearded iris flowers. Smoky bearded irises with green stems stand against a light background, displaying vibrant blooms with ruffled petals. A budding iris is visible nearby, adding depth and visual interest to the composition.

Description: This is my acrylic painting of a beautiful blue bearded iris. I painted this flower from the irises we have in our yard. A vibrant blue iris stands tall amidst lush green grass, set against a softly swirling sky. The flower's petals are elegantly detailed, capturing a sense of delicate motion.

Description: This is my acrylic painting from a study of flowers picked from my yard in April. This includes white and blue lilac blooms. The dogwood blooms come from my unique tree which has white on one side and pink blooms from the other trunk section. The Dogwood is the state tree of Missouri. The bleeding hearts top off the flowers in the vase. I painted this on black paper to give it more depth. The background features dynamic purple rays that enhance the floral display's vividness.

Description: I created this peace sign with flowers inked on a watercolor painting with added special effects from salt. A peace symbol is creatively formed by intricate floral designs set against a colorful watercolor background. Delicate flowers and leaves intertwine to create a harmonious and artistic representation.

Description: I painted these magic mushrooms with acrylics in a mandala design with a bunch of four-leaf clovers in the center. I used black paper to give depth to the area with the colorful mushrooms. Vibrant mushrooms with various patterns surround a central green circle filled with shamrock motifs, set against a dynamic purple background. A symmetrical design creates a mesmerizing visual effect.

Description: I used black paper to paint this field full of sunflowers near a farm at sunset. There is a barn and windmill on the horizon. I have seen this type of field in Kansas.

Description: This is my acrylic painting of a bridge over peaceful waters. This was done in a Claude Monet style with the water lilies. I have added iris flowers to the foreground. A tranquil scene features a curved wooden bridge over a reflective pond, surrounded by lush greenery and vibrant flowers. Graceful water lilies float on the serene water, while branches arch overhead, creating a peaceful, natural canopy.

Description: This is my acrylic painting with a design of autumn leaves that have fell onto the forest floor. The black paper gives it depth of the leaves on the ground. Vibrant autumn leaves of various shapes and colors are arranged against a dark background, creating a striking contrast. The composition includes leaves in green, orange, yellow, and purple hues, intricately detailed and symmetrical.

Description: I painted this lucky four-leaf clover with watercolor and added salt for the special magical effects. (A three-leaf clover is called a shamrock.) The four-leaf clover has come to represent the Holy Trinity, one leaf representing the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit and God’s Grace. The four-leaf clover is considered good luck to find one since your chances of finding one are 1 in 10,000! If you find one, giving it to someone doubles your luck. A golden four-leaf clover stands out against a textured, earthy background. Rich hues of yellow and brown create a sense of warmth and depth.
