Paint Party Friday....going black and white....


Hi Everyone....

I am thrilled you popped in to see me today....I have been busy this week with all sorts of projects....I am currently working a lot in black and white and was inspired to create this piece....inspired by one of my favorite herbs in the garden...one that you never have to replant because every year it sows itself....for the next year....I get it throughout my whole garden and before I till and plant everything else....I wait till it is big enough for me to pick and I freeze it for use in all of my favorite dishes.....

do you know what this herb is?

I am sharing this piece with all of my talented friends over at Paint Party Friday...

I really have no idea where the entire week went....but it was a wonderful and creative week....

Happy Friday and Happy Creating.....

  1. Hi Diana. What a great idea. B/W for PPF. Excellent work. I do believe it's Dill. I have that in my garden. Love it and use it. Nice work. Happy PPF!

  7. Is it Dill
    I know this week went so fast for me too. Lots of fun this last weekend for me and I am now back in the swing of the painting again after a weekend break.
    I like black and white too. It is so minimalist - which I like it feels so clean and direct ...you wouldn't know it by my thick textured paintings would you

    this is gorgeous. is it a painting on canvas or a digital piece that looks like canvas? the lines are so perfectly defined and clear that i just wondered-if its hand painted you have an incredibly steady hand! anyway, its a stunning piece even though i'm pretty clueless about herbs!

  17. Is this really called "Dill" in English, too? How funny, as it's the same word in German. Happy PPF and great work in b/w!

  18. J'adore le fenouil... Que ce soit en bulbe ou en fleur... Je cueille beaucoup de fenouil sauvage...
    J'aime beaucoup la forme esthétiques .de cette fleur... et tu l'as parfaitement bien peint.
    Je t'envoie tout plein d'arômes anisés... et de gros bisous

  26. I thought it was maybe parsley, allowed to bloom so it would reseed. But now, I think I'll agree with the others about it being dill! Whatever it is, it's beautiful and SO dramatic in black and white!
