Texas Wildflowers
Bluebonnets, Wild Verbena, Tansy Aster, Mountain Pinks, and Strawberry CactusI have been painting seriously and intently for several days, as my schedule allowed. Then put in a marathon of painting on Friday evening and most of Saturday, stopping only to take a child to a school event, grade papers for about 2 1/2 hours, and go to the grocery store. Today I didn't get back to painting. We went to church, I graded papers, got a Christmas tree, and moved stuff around in my studio/living room to make room for it. It may be several days before I decorate it.
While I was painting yesterday I was wishing I would paint more often. I love it. But this kind of painting, a commissioned piece, is hard for me to do. Especially hard to begin. I dread doing something to please someone and possibly failing! I stopped at regular intervals to take progress paintings and post on flickr. If you want to see the early stages look here. I still need to finish the monarda, and work on the border. When I finish I will post a picture. At this point I hope my client doesn't want it... I am wanting to keep it.

OMG...this is absolutely gorgeous! I can see why you want to keep it. However, I don't think that's going to happen. Your client is going to love it!
Have a wonderful Holiday!
Merry Christmas Molly!
Yesterday we had below zero and out walking I captured a few frozen moments with my camera. The weather for Christmas Eve looked promising but today we are back to normal again. Grey skies, fog and rain. Rudolf will definitely need his red nose....
I wish you a joyful and happy holiday!
Lots of love to you my friend
