This bike… I struggled a lot with this one… scraped it twice… went to bed thinking I could never do it… wondered why I ever said okay to this commission… prayed… and prayed and prayed some more…and I really think God answered my prayer… here it is… finished… I think…

This is the 3rd of my sunflower paintings for this summer… The petals were beginning to fall after days of painting my previous sunflowers…
11″ x 14″oil on linen canvas
I was excited to be using a linen canvas for the first time, and I loved it. I’m so thankful to be painting again, and I’m looking forward to posting here for the upcoming September 2016 30 Paintings in 30 Days…
The second painting I did this summer of sunflowers. This time they are in a galvanized metal flower pot…

I’ve been doing a little experimenting lately with brushes and palette knives and trying to swipe a little with the knife to get a looser feel. I have to admit I’m not very brave doing it, but it’s fun to try something new.
I wrote a little more about this painting and the vase on my website blog, in case you are interested, or haven’t seen it yet. 🙂 knaylorpaintings.com
My son moved out and I took over his room. It took me awhile to set things up, but at this point I think I’m about as organized as I will get…
My brushes sit in a beautiful glass jar hand-blown by my daughter… 🙂
My son built this desk for all his computer gadgets and it works great for me. Paintings I have for sale are on the left. Paintings that are drying are on the right.
Plenty of room for storing frames, canvases, unfinished paintings…
And a place to sit and paint or talk or relax… a little space to myself…
My paints are all a mess in that basket under the table… I really need to do something about that. Anyone have suggestions on keeping your paints organized with the lids on them?
Hope you enjoyed the little tour. I’m really happy with my painting place.
This canvas started out as a frustrated attempt at a sunrise painting and ended up a floral bouquet…
9″ x 12″ oil on canvas
My husband brought me home a beautiful bouquet of roses for my birthday with what I think is Queen Anne’s Lace. Hence the title Love and Lace…
Now back to the sunrise challenge… 🙂

Saw a beautiful photo shared on Instagram by Tonya and I asked if I could paint it. She gave me permission. Love the way it turned out… 🙂
I just ordered new note cards with some of my old paintings and some of my new. This painting included…
They are all available in my Etsy shop… https://www.etsy.com/shop/knaylorpaintings
I hope you are having a nice August. It’s hot down here in Oklahoma. I’m looking forward to September, not only for the cooler weather, but 30 Paintings in 30 Days. Anyone else participating this time?
