A Day in the Country
(Bucolic Bulgaria)
oil on board   9.5" x 13"

The Virtual Paintout  travels through Bulgaria this month.  Touring around with the Google Map Street View, I looked for something I would enjoy painting. It seems like most of Bulgaria is still under the effects of winter - snow on the ground, trees yet to leaf out, the earth still asleep. I've had enough cold weather and was hungry for the sun, so when I came upon this rural area with lots of sunlight and greenery, I know I'd found my spot! I came here for the weather but stayed to paint this pleasant country road.

First Roses 
11" x 14" oil on canvas
nfs

First roses of the season - they are always so lush. Every year, by October I am tired of painting roses and swear I that I am done with them. But come April out they bloom in abundance, and that old siren song calls to me... "Come, paint me.... come and paint me ..." Every year I put out my best effort, never feeling like I have succeed in capturing their opulence or beauty. And yet, I always try.

This painting is painted on all sides. It can be framed as you like, or simply hung up as it is.
