Show me your flowers!!!

I have a few designs that I'm trying to re do for my board this spring/summer. When I started working on flowers I came to a complete stand still. I need to be inspired. Can you show me your flower faces?

This was one of the first ever paintings I did, still with my cheap and nasty paints so excuse the quality.


This one is one I did for Christmas but I have used it a lot since, just changes the colours... so quick and easy!

Daizy, those flowers are awesome, especially the first big mums (?) on the top picture. just gorgeous. You are so talented.

daizy: the top ones. just concentric circles made of double loaded round brush "lay down" petals right? Do you do a big base circle under?

omg the first onw are SOOOO good!!! wish you would do a utube tutourial with that!! i would love to know how you made this!!=)

I second the motion for a YouTube tutorial Daizy on the mums ... they are beautiful!

So pretty Daizy!!!

Daizy, the big mum is my favorite flower I've ever seen!

Wow daizy!!!! can u plz come to australia and teach me, ur stuff is always soooo amazing!!!!

Daizy I LOVE the 1st one, so simple yet unusual!
These are mine:
Mini cherry blossom (same as on kids faces just smaller bursh)


Dandelion seeds, for a change..


Daisys with small flat brush



And quickie flower mainly doubledipped round brush..

I'm so glad you guys are sharing. Flowers are my least favorite thing to paint, but you guys are inspiring me to try them out in different ways than I ever have before. I used to feel like they were boring and there was really no way to spruce them up, but this has changed my opinion.

Wildcatfin those flowers are beautiful. i especially love the cherry blossoms!!!

Cheers! DEAD simple, i prefer an almost pyramidal shaped point round - you know, short fat, conical...they are the paler colour 1st, double dipped into darker with the point pressed down to the middle.

Seriously those cherry blossoms have me drooling!!
I'm amazed by the actual wood look of the branch... just awesome.
I have tried to paint cherry blossoms off a tattoo that I saw but I couldn't get the branch looking right so the whole thing was a fail.
I love love love daisy's mum's too.... I'm finding these pics very inspiring...
I wonder if Metina would do a flowers comp as there seem to be so many different colours and types you could go on forever just painting flowers!

All these flowers are amazing! All I can say is WOW!

Well I just learnt something new today! I had no idea what mums even were until now Thanks for all your comments.. It was really just doing the basic petals over and over again... I just started from the middle like a regular flower and worked my way out.. the middle one I think I went back in over them again.

Those cherry blossoms are absolutely stunning!!! I love love love the dandelion and daisies too! Cat all of your paintings amaze me. You were one of the first real painters I had come across when I started out, you inspired me so much!! A compliment from you just made my day!

Tash the colours in your flower are still amazing!

Hey Daisy - what's the bright blue in your mum's?
I like the pink blue teal combo, but I don't have a blue that bright.

The blue.... I think.... is a DFX Metalic Blue.

Excuse me while I pick up my jaw!! All of these flowers are amazing...

Inspired by Cats cherry blossom...

Ah, Daizy - amazing as usual! Love them all!

Great thread - a whole bunch going into my "try" folder =).


Here are a few of mine. I can't remember who I got the idea from but loved it, and I change them up all the time.




Here is my new "flower fairy" design I did yesterday... I am so lucky my daughter loves to model - she makes it easy to get great pics!!

Love it!

Daizy, I have a question for you... Are your beautiful children always so willing to let you paint them, or do you secretly have a little army of clones lined up?

If there are clones, I would like to place an order for one (1) in a smallest child please! Seriously tho.....I would LOVE to have a child like that for FP...she is just perfect!!!!!!!! And let's face it, cute, interesting and/or hot sells. This is why my weathered old face is not my fave for display! LOL But that little girl is quite possibly one of the cutest little models out there!

all gorgous models!!! I'll take 2 please
