Daffodils are Blooming Indoors
One of the harbors of spring, the daffodil!
My friend, Galina, is original from Russia. She gave me this Russian vase.
I love so many kinds of flowers in this vase. It really makes the colors pop.
I Painted My Orchid
If you remember the photo of my orchid from yesterday, here is a painted version.
I felt inspired to paint it. I plan to also paint the orchid in oil paint. But I really like the coolness of the watercolor mixed with gouache paint. Very vibrant and alive. I believe I will tone it down with the oil paint. IT will definitely present a different mood. I also believe the oil paint will give a heavier feel to the artwork.
Beautiful Things
February is in full force. And with VAlentine's Day around the corner, I was just thinking of what makes me happy this time of year. It's very cold outside. I wanted to go for a run. But at 6 degrees F., it wasn't too comfortable. So I am really a homebody this time of year.
I enjoy bringing flowers into the home to bring nature indoors. I also enjoy crystals and the meaning and energy they can bring to a space. Other things I like in February are handmade things like notes, knits, and art, as well as something baking in the oven.
My little orchid.
