Late Bloomers

 


The owner of this cherry orchard told me the trees are blooming about two weeks later than usual this year. Some things are worth the wait!

Figures from Life

 


I'm thrilled to be painting the figure from life again! Here is Aja de Coudreaux modeling for our group at the Lynn House Gallery in Antioch, California. With plenty of distance and fresh air in the room, Aja graciously removed her mask and allowed us to see her beautiful face. Her stunning headdress and intense gaze added drama to the pose.

And here is Irina in a quiet, introspective pose, radiating serenity. "Irina," Acrylic on Panel 16" x 12", © Nancy Roberts, available in my Daily Paintworks Gallery.

Spring in Ruth's Garden

 


The Ruth Bancroft Garden was ablaze with color on this glorious Spring day. It was a joy painting there with friends among the butterflies, hummingbirds and lizards!
