I've been wanting to paint a thistle flower for a while and I thought it was a great time to try out the subject since I was limited to such a small format.

Roadside Thistle (2013), 6 x 6"
Finally, a new painting! I was asked to paint this for a fundraiser for 40 North 88 West, a local arts organization. It will be for sale along with nearly forty other 6 x 6" canvases by other Champaign-Urbana artists at the Gala on February 9. I'm so excited to have completed my first painting of 2013--I haven't painted since my son was born last May! I hope to get back into painting more in the coming months.
