The last bud from the garden last year
pen and ink with watercolor wash
recording the opening over several days
Full bloom
Beginning to fade
After the petals fall we need to rest
Yesterday I was bereft of purpose
Today I am ready to seek myself again

For the birds
What to do when you are snowed in. Paint bird feeders and bird houses.
I couldn’t resist buying these unpainted houses at Michael’s on Wednesday, against everyones advise that I did not need them and would not ever get around to painting them. ” But they are on sale”, I retorted.
Between cooking and baking and drying out jackets and gloves I have painted my little houses in bright color
s and raided the odd broken jewery bag for things to glue on them. Now I have an idea to attach a branch across a painting of outbuildings at Belmont and hang some of these houses in front of them. This is my lesson for anyone wanting to tap into that creative side we all have. Just do it and have fun. Take advantage of any opportunity that suspends the everyday hurry of the have- to’s and shoulds .

I'm so happy
I inserted the bride paintnig into the border I painted last year and me thinks this makes an anniversary card. But maybe it should read “I was happy that day and I’m just as happy today”?

The seeds of the Fredericksburg painting
I am ready to add Fredericksburg to my series of town painting. Inspired by this winter I am thinking a snow scene.
