Butterfly on Jasmine, Original Acrylic Painting

I finished Butterfly on Jasamine today.  The painting is painted in acrylics and is on a 20x20 gallery wrapped canvas with edges also painted.  Ready hang on your wall.

Springtime weather is coming to South Texas and along with it is increased wildlife activity.  Our jasmine is in full bloom and the bees and butterflies are all over it.  That is until you try to capture a picture of the little beauties.  I chased this colorful butterfly around for a long time (was a windy day) and was able to get several nice photos of it to paint from.  I liked this one and hope you enjoy it also.

Butterfly on Jasmine is for sale.  Email me if you wish to purchase.

Mexican Lime Oil Painting

We have two Mexican Lime trees that abundantly provide my wife Carolyn with limes for her tea.  Ours produce nearly all year long.  They have small white blossoms and the bees love them.  The fruit turns to a pale yellow when fully ripe.

I painted the Mexican Lime in oils alla prima on a 10 x 8 gallery wrapped canvas.  I had prepared the canvas a couple of months ago with a blue teal left over mix from another painting and have been thinking about what to paint on it.  Kept it simple and used the lime as it was complimentary.  The palette consisted of: yellow light, sap green, green light permanent, yellow ochre, yellow, burnt umber, white and a tad of burnt sienna.  Check my website and etsy in the above menu should you wish to purchase paintings or prints.  I am also a member of Fine Art America which is a great place to buy art.

I hope you like the painting.
