Looking for Spring Blooms...

I can't wait for Spring so painted these to help. I used a palette knife for this one and realized I really like the texture and depth and that loose feeling I'm after. I'm working on a floral series all done with a knife. They are different sizes but all of beautiful flowers. Did I ever tell you I was a floral designer for a while? I love flowers! I only wish I could grow them! I'll never give up trying.
If you've been following me through the years you know my daughter is away at college and that it was a very difficult time for me getting used to her not being around. I go through a mini empty nest every time she comes home for break then leaves again. Now she has a boyfriend and is even further away from me and so so busy. I know she's grown now but I still think of her as my little girl.
This series I'm working on is a reflection of what I'm going through and I will call it Bloom, referring to my daughter blooming into the beautiful girl she has become and of her mother
blooming into her new life. I'm still struggling with the later, trying to define what exactly that is, but I'm moving in the right direction.

My daughter moved away with her job and I went through the empty nest all over again, even though she did not live at home. It was lovely having her in the same town so I really have a little inkling of what you are going through. Will look forward to see what your emotions produce. Art is the WAY!
I'm intrigued by your work, just love the mixed media!

Take care,

I can identify with missing your daughter. My son moved far away and will never come to the east. He's married now and sometimes I miss him so badly my heart aches. But life must go on, in a different way.
I keep myself very occupied so there's not much time to lament. ha! In my heart, I know he's very happy and has a lovely girl for a wife. They are in established careers. Who could ask for more?
I'm immensely grateful my daughter is nearby and now I have a tiny granddaughter who fills my heart with love.
Looking forward to your Mexico paintings! Susan
I will definitely be posting photos and hopefully paintings form Mexico!
