Spring, Almost

We arrived home from wonderful Santa Fe, on Monday, where there was snow on the ground, and temps in the 20's. In CA we've had weather in the high 60's with flowers on the fruit trees, and green everywhere. I felt like we came home to spring. Rain is expected soon, so this is temporary. It felt so good! I went for a walk, went to the store, and bought some flowers, painted, and here we are!

One More

Still working with the lilies. The positive thing about this flower is that it lasts a long time. I usually go for the lilies when I buy fresh flowers, for that reason. Anyway, things are busy, as always. I managed to find a little bit of uninterrupted time and finished this one, yesterday, alla prima, all at once. I'm still trying to find a longer uninterrupted block of time to start and finish a larger one, but will most likely have to wait until next week. We're headed out of town for the long weekend. I'll try to get a little painting in while we're away, you never know! To all have a wonderful Valentine's Day and Presidents Day weekend!
