Morning Roses

Morning Roses in Glass 

(link here for prints)

For awhile there, I was feeling a bit embarrassed about what I LOVE painting.... 

Flowers.  

Always and forever, flowers. 

But then I remembered Monet, his Giverny and how he planned and worked his garden for the sake of his painting.  He made no apologies..... thank God.

So, here I am, owning it, announcing it, nope, I'm going to shout it.  

I love flowers!!!!

I who have died am alive again today,

and this is the sun's birthday, this is the birth

day of life and love and wings; and of the gay

great happening illimitably earth

now the ears of my ears are awake and

now the eyes of my eyes are opened.

TGIF - Flower Friday

Monet said, "I perhaps owe having become a painter to flowers." And I certainly can say that for myself too. So in celebration of Friday and Monet and flowers and art and, and... you name it, I bought a big bunch of tulips and purple hyacinth and boy do they smell lovely. From this day forward I declare Fridays - Flower day.

TGIFF
Thank God It's Flower Friday.

So glad to see Friday come and there's soooo much I want to do this weekend. SO much.
1. Paint, paint, paint
2. Read read read
3. paint some more.

I have a whole list of things I want to work on. So stay tuned for lots of watercolors!
