I am a portrait and still life painter, and landscape artist as often as I can lift my brush. That is usually every day. The mind paints as readily as the hand.

Red Striped Camellia Still Life

Red Striped Camellia©2011 C.L.Burgess16 x 12 oil on linen


The camellias in my yard are getting ready to bloom again. These were painted from my spring blossoms and hopefully gaining attention and a new home from the show Art at the Mill which ends this weekend.

I am especially looking forward to seeing the blooms this season, in stark contrast to the tree that was felled form Irene, not two feet away from it. Photos will follow. And of course, more paintings of camellias.
