blooms, paintings and an over achieving christmas cactus.

we've got blooms!!!

 and paintings...

scilla  12"x12"x 1.5"

toad lily 12"x12"x1.5"

hibiscus 18"x18"x1.5"  (it's redder in real life (not as orange)

 

clematis 18"x18"x 1.5"  (purple is darker in real life)

 

leaf 3"x5"x .5"

my camera doesn't like to pick up the right reds or purples.  the play on the other colours in the paintings seem to throw the colour lense off.   the apple blooms will be the next painting on the easel!

my very over achieving christmas cactus which made me smile. 

happy long weekend, rain or shine!

until next time.

love

happiness is...

sometimes you're just having one of those days, feeling kinda blah, kinda blue, then something happens, a little blip of beauty that changes everything. 

lookie here......

oh yes, these are my glorious little buds of my apple trees.  for two years i've been waiting patiently for my little apple trees to bloom and fruit.  giving them continued love and encouragement for them to grow and  blossom and eeeeeeeeeeeeee  here we go!!!!  sooo sooo happy these make me.  now i'm far from selling apples on the side of the road but a start is just that a start.  thank you sweet little apple trees for giving me a much needed smile.  mwah.

and what a difference some spring rain makes, everything is beginning to pop up and open.   

and this year my daffodils put on a record show, thank you early yellow soldiers. 

spring inspired paintings are coming up soon!!

until next time
love
