I love flowers and fruit to paint.

I'm always looking for ideas to paint with flowers and fruit.
The idea for the first one came from a magazine.  It was an advertisement for something but I liked the striped table cloth draped randomly and the clear glass pitcher with tulips and fruit bowl.
 Fruit and Tulips


Roses, Sweetpeas and lilacs
The idea for this one also came from a woman's garden magazine.  The vase is also clear glass and it is both a challenge and fun to paint the reflections and stems in the glass.

Tulips and Daisies
Again I've painted a striped cloth around the vase.  The arrangement was made up of silk flowers but it served well for the composition.
