"Mixed Bunch"
SOLD - 12/29/08



Yesterday was my wedding anniversary and my husband and I spent the day in Victoria, B.C. It was a sunny 45 degrees and it felt really good to get out in the weather as it's been so cold and snowy here the past two weeks. But I only got back late today and so I didn't get into the studio until almost 3:00 PM. A late start for me.

I'm always so dismayed by how easy it is to fall out of practice. If I paint flowers every day, then I seem to have little difficulty in rendering them. But if I skip a week and paint a different subject, I find that I have to struggle to get them right. I need to spend some time during the week just practicing my brush strokes on roses. These proved to be a challenge for me today.

Happy anniversary Susan, you got married on my birthday!

Your roses are quite beautiful - I hope one day to paint flowers as well as you. In the meantime I just keep trying.

Thanks Liz! You I wish I painted them better. It's always a stuggle get them right. I'm sure you'd do beautifully, though. You have great ability.
