These red gladiolus reside in a place where there is sunshine and 85 degree temps almost all year around. I captured images of them when I was on Coronado Island, CA, to paint at the gallery during the annual flower show last year. Folks who live on the island take flower growing to a whole new level, and the competition each year for the glorious glads and bodacious blooms is quite serious. If you're ever on the island, stop by the Art and Frames by Wood Gallery and say hello! Jill and Glenn and Trisha love visitors...

A Fredericksburg, Texas, decorator made a special request last week that had me a bit nervous. He picked a few of my old paintings and asked me to combine elements from each of them. The result is Sunny Day, a 24X24 painting drying on my easel today. Sometimes it's a good thing to try something new, even if it's a bit daunting at first.

This was my first time to paint red gladiolas and these flowers were incredibly fun to create! The gladiolas are based on a photo I took at the Coronado Island Flower Festival this past spring (you remember, the one I got kicked out of because I wasn't a judge or juror?) Three little pears from the grocery store sitting on my workstation also helped with this project, although one of the three mysteriously disappeared overnight. Perhaps it fled to a safe harbor for pears somewhere. And no painting is completed at Flower Mound Studio without the assistance of the three four-footed assistants who strategically select napping accommodations directly in front of the easel.

Summer feels like it is slipping away already, even here in Texas. Where does the time go? I hope you are enjoying a relaxing Saturday with loved ones nearby and all of your pears safely accounted for....
