Wisteria and Cherry Blossoms is a scene from the Dallas Arboretum and an offering to the powers that be in order to speed along the sunshine here in chilly Texas. Today three pugs went to the Spaw and so the house smells like roses (and pugs), and that's one more chore marked off my to-do list before leaving to paint flowers in Florida on Thursday. Tomorrow I am going shopping for jeans, since every pair I own has paint on them! Let's meet at the new La Madeleine for lunch and have a chocolate almond croissant and hot mocha with homemade whipped creme on top, shall we? We can pull up a table right next to the fireplace and share all our pet pictures. What better way to spend the day with a gal pal....
Clear Skies Sunflower was my afternoon class demonstration in Melbourne, Florida, making its debut in Flower Mound Studio today. This evening I finished work on a 48X24 Cherry Blossom Path based on the flowers of the Dallas Arboretum, and I posted the painting on my blog today. I'm looking forward to seeing all of these colors in bloom again next spring during the Dallas Blooms Festival, I'll be setting up for a plein air day and sure hope my painty pals will join me. Stay tuned to the art blog for details to come! My November 9 Dallas Arboretum class is full, but I still have seats open in my 3 day workshops in North Texas in the next few weeks. Put a little joy in your brush and let's make brilliant color bloom!
Dallas Arboretum Cherry Blossom Stroll is a new commissioned painting in progress in Flower Mound Studio tonight. My November Dallas Arboretum workshop is full, so we're celebrating (and packing for a Florida workshop next week!)
What a beautiful weekend, with perfect weather, sunny skies, and cool breeze. Just right for time to transfer and cull out my iris garden rhizomes! Our irises have done so well this year since we dedicated a new bed to their care last year. I have lots of iris rhizomes to share with friends. I can't wait until next spring to see the color again, in all its splendor....
