It’s always nice to have an excuse to paint flowers! And gifting hand painted flowers is something I really enjoy.

“Always, and Always” is an 8 x 24 inch acrylic painting on stretched canvas.

This is a special piece of art, as it was made for my sister and her husband for their 40th wedding anniversary. They are special people, and I wanted to create something beautiful for them.

The title is from a quote from Claude Monet, “I must have flowers, always, and always.” I thought the “always, and always” was a nice way to describe their love for each other too.

The next flower painting was for a 25th anniversary celebration. We were there for their wedding 25 years ago, so it was a joy to paint something special for them too…in her favorite colors!

“Anniversary Flowers” – is an acrylic painting on 9 x 12 inch cradled wood panel.

It is looking like spring around here, and everything is blooming (and I am sneezing!) so I have a feeling there will be more flower paintings soon!
