New Acrylic Paintings, Commission

I painted on a commission of cactus blooms for the last few days.  It has been fun after the perspective on the buildings in downtown Bastrop, another commission.  These flower paintings are small, 6 x 6 inches on panels with 1/2 inch sides so the painting is painted around and they can be hung without framing.  Perfect for a small area.  

The sides of the paintings

The paintings together.

In black and white, the cholla blooms on the right could have used a little more light area, eh?

Yellow Pear Blooms - Acrylic, 6 x 6 on panel, no frame necessary.


Pink Cholla Blooms - Acrylic, 6 x 6 on panel, no frame necessary

Painting cactus pear blooms is so much fun and painting Cholla blooms puts me at home in Magdalena, New Mexico.  Good and bad to that feeling.  Ha.

I sketched too, but no time to post.  Back with more later.
