A new Oil painting as Promised . . .

Darling Buds of May

Oil on Linen

Well, here's the newest piece. This was one of those happy accidents that happen sometimes when shooting reference material. I was setting up a shot and glanced up to catch these two great models just naturally walking and talking. It was such a great image that I just had to paint it. The shape the period dresses made blowing in the wind was really to fun to pass up.

My apologies for taking a while to get it posted. We've got a project brewing around here . . . I'll keep you posted on that, too!
