Have you ever seen white iris before? I have seen purple iris all my life. But when I saw these white iris, I just had to have them. They remind me of paper whites and other winter white florals. As much as I love color this time of year, there is something very clean and refreshing about white flowers.
I also found these pale pink spray roses for $5! What a bargain from Marianos in Westchester. Okay. I already painted them! See below. Kind of a funky abstract playful painting.
Hope you enjoy my new painting.
If you saw my post regarding 2017 themes, you will know that February was a month for me to paint sweet treats. Here is a video slide show of some of my past sweet desserts.
It's been so beautiful outside that I have been working with watercolor paints in my back yard. It's a little risky with the leaves and other debris that lands on the paper. But it's worth it to me. I love feeling the sun on my legs and I work and the change in light patterns makes work come alive.
And besides this little guy I actually finished today (here is a quick video if you are interested):
And here are the yellow lilies I blogged about last week...
Just had dinner at my parent's farmhouse in Wisconsin. Started with bacon-wrapped dates.
Then we had a spinach and fruit salad with toppings like goat cheese crumbles and sunflower seeds. Following salad was an old-fashioned meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and green beans.
I didn't take a photo of it. But there was a delicious chocolate icebox cake for dessert. Everything was comfort food and so tasty on a cold February Wisconsin evening. Hope you all had a great weekend.
I purchased some beautiful yellow lilies the other day and am so excited that they are now in full bloom.
Because now they are ready to paint!
I plan to paint both in watercolor and oil paint. I can't wait to see how the paintings turn out. I'll keep you posted.
