Merry Christmas and Happy New Bouquet!


                              Presents from some of my students( the bouquet) and the pears)...a good reason to find a canvas and start painting...looking...putting the puzzle together...as I heard Van Gogh say in a new film about his life " I paint so that I don't have to think" ( close to that) a sentiment I have shared many times with anyone who will listen... and so a beautiful bunch of strange flowers ( I love each and every one of them) with a Georgia O'Keefe book in the "background"  ....oh yes....Merry Merry for all that believe in this day... Thank you for all of your kind gifts...I stay peacefully at home! 24x24" oil on canvas
