977 First Blooms

I have a large rooftop garden, and this year I planted more flowers than in previous years.  It's the only place I can grow flowers that require full sun.  I can't wait till they all bloom.  In the meantime, I plucked these two to stimulate more blooms.    I love this little vase, which is about the size of a large shot glass.  It was made by Renee Schwaller, potter and proprietress of Off The Wall Pottery.  I just love her work, and sgraffito pottery in particular.  This is one of three that I couldn't resist.  This one has an owl on the back side, and you know how much I love owls.

977 Late Night Pirouette

This is a very different painting for me, but I loved painting it.  In case you are interested, there is another painting underneath this one, positively a bad one, and I have been playing with modifications for over a year.  I really enjoyed the process.

976 If Not For You

This one was fun.  I hope you like it.  The paint where the vase is now seemed to ask for a blue and white vase.

975 Unexpected Moment of Joy

This is another painting that began as a black paint splat.  I never know how it will turn out, but in this case, I knew it was going to be a basket.

During the shelter in place during the pandemic, life is very simple.  But still there have been many little moments that brought me such joy that may not have been noticed otherwise.  Just today, I was surveying my front yard, looking up into the trees to observe the birds, who have been feasting on my snap peas in my rooftop garden.    I noticed that wrens had finally--- after two years--- taken residency in my beautiful handmade birdhouse.  It made me so happy.  Just a very small thing.  That's all it takes.

974 Sunflower Polka

This is another painting inspired by a splat of black paint.  I added more polka dots for drama.  I thought the sunflowers look like they are dancing, except for the stuffy one who is sitting it out.
