No matter where I go in the world I will find flowers.
I search them out and take hundreds of photographs
or
set up a still life in my studio
In winter, flower shops and cut flowers are available
Summer flowers are endless

Spring is probably my favorite time of year for flowers
Summer heat sometimes can be very hard on them
especially in NM

Last weekend I planted eight hanging baskets
I cannot wait for them to totally fill out and spill over

    Lovely Carol! I love the movement in the stems and leaves. You have been having a love affair with red lately :)

      If I wore dresses, I would think a new red one might be the right thing!

    Really? You are right; I just noticed I am painting lots of red. Lately David Marine has been choosing my paintings as one of their daily picks of the day on dailypaintworks.com. Believe me, I am humbled and honored!
