Purple Daisy

Purple Daisy by Sandra Galda
4"x4" oil on gesso board


This little purple daisy was so cute. I think it was happy that I took it in from the rainy day. It sat under the warm lightblub on my setup, and opened up as if smiling. Yes, it is still raining here, sigh..... If interested in purchasing contact my email address sgalda@aol.com Thanks for looking, tell me what you think-leave a comment!

It is still raining out, but despite the gloom, I went out and retrieved this red daisy for today's painting. It looked happier in the rain than I was! It also looked happy visiting with the green apple. If interested in purchasing contact my email address sgalda@aol.com Thanks for looking, tell me what you think-leave a comment!

Handmade Vase and Orange Daisy


Handmade Vase and Orange Daisy by Sandra Galda
6"x8" oil on canvas board

Wow this took a lot of time today to paint! I underestimated both how hard it is to paint a strangely fired pot and a larger format. It is very challenging to paint flowers. We bought several different colored types of this plant so I could create different color schemes in the small daily paintings.

Well I gave in and painted the tenacious carnation again! I felt compelled to acknowledge their unbelievable survival. It is one of the long lasting bunch given to me at Mother's day brunch!

Triangular Vase with Carnation (NA)


Triangular Vase with Carnation by Sandra Galda
5"x7" oil on gesso board

The small green vase is strangely shaped. We bought it at a garage sale earlier this spring. I have too many red flowers in the house for me to paint and I hate to have them go off without attempting to get several paintings out of them. As much as I love red flowers, next time we will try a different color! If interested in purchasing contact my email address sgalda@aol.com Thanks for looking, tell me what you think-leave a comment!

Mom's Carnation


Mom's Carnation by Sandra Galda
4"x4" oil on gesso board
My hubby, kids, and I went to an Asian buffet brunch for Mother's Day yesterday. The waiter presented carnations to each mom before they left. I sure enjoyed my day yesterday and hope you all did too. I was notified by the Newburyport Art Association in MA that I am admitted by jury to be a supplier to their gift shop adjacent to their gallery. I am so happy! Also, two of my paintings are now in their gallery. If interested in purchasing today's work contact my email address sgalda@aol.com Thanks for looking, tell me what you think-leave a comment!

Market Radish


Market Radish by Sandra Galda
4"x4" oil on gessobord

I love the remaining greenery on fresh radishes, not found when you buy them in plastic bags. It makes me remember summertime gardens and what it is like to pull these up fresh from the mud. Radishes have a remarkably short seed to harvest time. I often just plant the seeds around the edge of a vegetable garden like a border so I can easily harvest them and replant.

Coruscating Eggplant

Coruscating Eggplant by Sandra Galda
4"x4" oil on gessobord
Yes, I am intrigued by the gleaming reflections on this vegetable! This little guy was also from the weekend market trip to Boston. I sure got a lot of items to paint from that market. It is kind of hard to bring myself to actually cook the 10 or so small eggplants we bought there, they are so cute and soooo small---they don't seem real.

Market Friends


Market Friends by Sandra Galda
4"x4" oil on gessobord

I am still enjoying the market veggies and fruits from this past weekend. This was a really fast little painting, done after a very busy day and evening! It was one of those days where this exercise at daily painting was really done as an exercise to keep me in the paint. Still, it is sort of cute....I sure love painting!
