Tomato seedling
A German Red Stripe to be precise! A woman I know has a wonderful sale each spring with an impressive variety of organic heirloom tomato plants. I have zero luck with tomatoes so I gave it to my Mother-in-law : )

Contradictions - SOLD
A flower's appeal is in its contradictions — so delicate in form yet strong in fragrance, so small in size yet big in beauty, so short in life yet long on effect.

Tulip Bowl - SOLD
I'm in my glory with all these flowers. I remember my grandma having a bowl like this in which she would float roses. I loved that as a kid. And they had such a lovely scent. Nice memories.

Opposites Attract - SOLD
Reaching for titles here. But you can kind of see it: the purple and yellow look so snappy together and they're opposites (on the colour wheel : ). Yes? Well, it's better than numbering them. Or actually, maybe that's the way to go. Anyhow...here is today's offering!

Good for the soul - SOLD
If you are new to my blog, you may wonder if you've got the right post : ). For some time now I've been concentrating on abstract but I began as a plein air painter (painting the landscape outdoors) and then became a "daily painter" in 2009 (where I created small oil paintings daily and posted them to my blog) and for the past couple of years I've been exploring abstract.
Due to an upcoming group order I had to build up my inventory of small works. So here is the first one of what will be a good month of daily painting. I enjoyed painting in this format again although the thinner smell got to me. Ick.
Happy Thursday!
