I bought these flowers at Central Market. These white ones were beautiful and there were also purple ones. They have long strong stems. They are very unusual and fun to paint.

French Iris


These are real French Iris, that is, I found them in France. They were growing along a wall in Burgundy and reminded me of a Van Gogh painting I had seen somewhere. They actually look bluer in this photo than I painted them. I just can't get the right colors which are more lavender and purple. I haven't mastered the photo editing "thing" yet.

"Sunflowers in Blue and White" by Ann Rogers

oil on stretched canvas

Haven't been painting many flowers lately, but when I do, sunflowers are a favorite. They say "summer" anytime of the year and are especially welcomed during our recent frigid temps throughout Texas this month!

I hope these primroses qualify me for the February "flower" theme. I greatly admire my fellow artists who paint flowers so beautifully. I attempt it faithfully about twice a year - and always when the little pots of primroses arrive at the grocery store. Click here to see last year's variety. Visit my blog to see more in this recent still life series titled 'Shelf Life.'

"One Big Happy Family" by Gwen Bell


















12 x 12" oil on canvas SOLD

Thought this group of Shasta Daisies looked like
a bright, happy family. Dad is the big yellow,
Mom is the solid red, little brother is yellow like his
Dad and the twin girls take after both parents.
