Queen Anne’s Lace, my favorite flower. Look for them in medians and abandoned fields near you.
“Blooming with Beauty and Grace”
Wildflowers Viewed Through the Veil of a Queen
I have a favorite wildflower. It is Queen Anne’s Lace! I am delighted they have popped up in my bluebonnet field. I don’t need to play slot machines because I have a North TX prairie to visit.
Spring Under the Clouds
8″x4″ original oil on panel
As I painted this I thought “Oh Texas, You should always dress in wildflowers. They are so becoming on you!”
💕 Please enjoy a celebration of pink paintings this month, in honor of breast cancer awareness. I paint for my friends and family who have fought the good fight against cancer, for their families, and for all caregivers who help along with the journey toward a healthy self (body, soul, and spirit). In my strokes of pink, are prayers of strength and healing.

“I believe in process. I believe in four seasons. I believe that winter’s tough, but spring’s coming. I believe that there’s a growing season. And I think that you realize that in life, you grow. You get better.” -Steve Southerland

Blushing Cactus (finished)
7″x5″ pastel on sanded paper
I decided to spend a few more minutes on this study. Spines are my favorite part of a cactus, so I wanted to add them. This photo was taken in lousy light, the light value of the background is a beautiful blush. It photographed almost white today.
