While driving to the post office, I passed this charming garden spot. The blooming bougainvillea and garden umbrella in contrasting color, caught my eye.
I so enjoy doing these small paintings. I have little desire to do larger ones these days. This give me instant gratification and tomorrow, I have the thrill of starting over on a new project.

A few weeks ago, the talented Diana Marshall, from Dublin, Ireland, had a painting give-away. She offered to do a portrait of choice for the winner, who happened to be ME!
Today I received this great painting of my grandson showing off his prize fish! Thank you Diana, this will go directly to my grandson Kevin.
Be sure to check out
Diana's blog. Her paintings are great and her animal portraits are fantastic, especially the cats.
Poppies still remain one of my most favorite flowers to paint. I came across these on an early morning walk last month with my dog Farley who impatiently waited as I photographed them. (He has much different preferences on our walks!)
There is nothing more invigorating than the cool, fresh spring and summer mornings with dew on all the new flowers and the abundance of new life everywhere. I think spring is my most favorite season, followed by fall which is reflected in so much of my work.
