I buy flowers for the house every week. This week there was a pink bouquet featuring a protea flower.
Protea, roses, lilies, and another pink flower plus some bending branches.
I am starting another group of paintings on exotic and other hardwoods like cherry and maple. The secret to seeing the wood is a clear gesso. It allows the wood to be painted on while seeing some of the wood grain underneath.
Look for another blog post with some of the new paintings soon!
I have a lot of morning glory and naturtium vines in my vegetable garden right now.
I feel amazed each October at how crazy these vines grow from small direct-planted seeds in my Illinois garden. I cannot get them to grow at all on my ranch in Idaho. It's too high of an elevation I believe.
Anyway, I plan to paint a picture of the cupcakes next to the nasturtiums for you soon. Will post pics as soon as possible!
