Awesome Art: Jaimee Newman
Collage
If you love quirky, but beautiful colorful artwork, you should check out Jaimee Newman, a Philadelphia based artist. Her website is HERE.
I love her collages and paintings because they are full of intrigue. There is a story there which you yearn to know.
Full of life, yet mysterious and perfectly executed.
Looking forward to see where her artistic journey takes her.

Lilac Love
Lilacs
It has been such a lovely spring for flowers here in the mid atlantic states. Lilacs have been especially beautiful, but their window of beauty is slowly closing! I miss their tender fragrance and sweet lavender color.
Breakfast Lilacs
Appreciate them while I can, but for consolation my delicate pansies are still in bloom.

I Love Flowers, How Can You Not?
Ever since my first days of painting, I have always reached for a bunch of flowers to paint. Visceral response, I think. Flowers are around us most of the year, and I love them. They are unique, fragrant, colorful, small and mysterious. You have to really, really look at them to grasp the depth of their beauty. Georgia O’Keefe did this in her paintings of large flowers. They are their own special world and are ubiquitous. I never want to take them for granted. They are gems of beauty all around us.
I bring in the hardy geraniums for the winter so they won’t die out in the cold.
Even when I am playing with paint in my studio, the image ends up looking like flowers.
Flowers center me and bring me calm. How about you?
