I just read that I can grow morning glories in a container and so today I'm off to the home improvement store to purchase a pack of seeds and a few color flowers to accent the front of my home. I'm so excited at the prospect of once again enjoying these climbing beauties and yet having them contained as not to get out of hand. They will be my inspiration in a pot during the hot summer months that are coming.
Whither you want to see them or not, this is where I'm going to share just a few of my MORNING GLORY artwork work with you. READY OR NOT, HERE THEY COME!
These first three photos are taken while the artwork is still in my sketchbook. These pieces are drawn using Prismacolor pencils and pen and ink. All have been done in the just the past 2 weeks. I'm currently working on a large canvas piece that features a small jersey calf lying on the ground just in front of a huge cluster of morning glories. This piece has been a challenge because of the size and shear number of flowers and leaves needed to pull it off. Drawing in my sketchbook helps me be a better painter and besides these three drawings stand on their own as cute artwork.
The next five pieces are all paintings that I have complete over the past 2 years for a series of work the I call "Down Country Roads". Each large piece features a different farm animals standing near a fence covered in bright blue morning glories. Of these five pieces shown here in this blog post, only the last one featuring the trio of noisy geese in "Neighborhood Watch Committee" is available as an original. I can make prints but they have all been sold and have found new homes.If you like my artwork and are on Facebook, you might consider following my art studio page. I always post my newest work there and on Instagram first.
