NATURE'S NYMPH

DAY 29 OF THE LESLIE SAETA 30 IN 30 CHALLENGE---

This is a very old bud vase that has been in my family for as long as I can remember.  I remember as a child thinking it was very "racy".  She (the nymph) actually has a very filmy gown on but it is barely visible.  Anyway I always liked the "natural-ness" of it.  (Sorry about that word but couldn't think of another way to put it.)  It was a challenge to paint, but I rather liked the way it came out.  This one took a lot of time so I am behind the eight-ball to get another painting done for the last day of the Leslie Saeta 30 paintings in 30 days completed.  It has been a race, but well worth it!

FIRST HENRY FONDA

This painting is of my first Henry Fonda rose of the season.  They are the most beautiful yellow in the beginning, but their form and color seems to "degrade" as the summer wears on.  I must go to a nursery and ask if there is anything I can do to keep them beautiful.  The sugar bowl is part of an antique set that was passed down by my Dad's family.  This was a most enjoyable painting to do as it kind of "rolled off the brush".  Wish they were all that way, but fortunately more and more of them are!
