1262. Warm and Cozy


 It is a whopping10 degrees here in Chicago, which feels like -2 degrees with the wind chill.  Why I thought to paint geraniums is beyond me--wishful thinking perhaps.  I used only palette knives and my favorite silicone color shaper, no brushes.

680 Underappreciated

Well.  This is the third little vase I purchased at Off the Wheel Pottery in Door County, made by artist Courtney Hancock, and by far the most difficult to paint with all those little leaves.  I hope I didn't get too "precious," the kiss of death for a painting.  I think it will be easier to paint on a larger format.  I am happy with the geranium after struggling with the color.  In case you are wondering about the title, geraniums are rarely my first choice flower for the garden because I don't think of them as being a glamorous choice, but I always end up delighted with them.  This one was a lucky find at Costco this spring and graces our patio with a giant splash of color that says,  "Welcome home!"
