"Pink Buddies" By Kelli Miller

These are the same carnations from my previous post. I am going to paint them every other day to see how the fill out. Kinda fun.

"Cheating... a Little" By Kelli Miller

6x6 oil

So... did you know it's easier to paint carnations if you turn the blooms away from you? Lol. That's what I did in this painting. So I'm kinda cheating:)

I haven't blogged or painted for the past two and a half weeks. My father-in-law had open heart surgery. So spent a lot of time at the hospital plus my youngest has been home for the past 2 weeks and my oldest came home for a week. Now I'm back to being an empty nester again. It doesn't get any easier. She even took her cat:(

"Red Carnation" By Kelli Miller

This carnation was very difficult for me to paint. As hard as I tried I couldn't see the layers. I lost track of how many times I wiped it and started over! I finally got it on the umpteenth time. Woohoo!!

"Five O'clock" By Kelli Miller

Just got back from vacation. It was cooler in Mexico than it is here in Denver! In Mexico it didn't matter whether it was 5 o'clock or not. We saw people drinking at 9:00 in the morning! We at least waited till 12:01 :)

"Lemon Drop" by Kelli Miller SOLD

I thought that this was a pretty appropriate painting considering I'm going on vacation tomorrow. I won't have internet access for the next week. Hasta la vista! Ole!:)

"Priscilla" Original Still Life Lemon Painting by Colorado Artist Kelli Miller

I paint in an old boarding house. There are 14 artists in the building and we each have our own studio. Literally our own studio apartment. Only about 300 square feet. There are usually five or six artists in the building at one time. When I finish a painting I get so excited that I go around and show it to anyone that is there. Judy is a fellow painter and she is a hoot! When I took this down to show her she exclaimed "Priscilla!" That's how it got it's name!
