Sweet Scent

Sweet Scent

Today the morning was for painting, the afternoon was for being outdoors.  These Hyacinths have been so enjoyable in the kitchen with their heady aroma that makes me dream of more gorgeous spring days ahead.  My friend and fellow blogger Debbie Taylor has been painting the prettiest florals recently and when I saw her recent Hyacinth painting I just had to try one too. ( Also it gave me an excuse to buy one in bloom, which Bill did for me recently.)

Nowhere To Hide

This pear is not as bold as yesterday's pear.  This one declined a spot in front and prefers to remain mostly in the shadows. I am once again experimenting with color and it's fun with all my painting props to try different combinations.

On a somber note, one of my galleries is closing and I received a message yesterday to come and pick up my paintings at the Woods Gallery on Bald Head Island.  It has been wonderfully managed for BHI incorporated by Shawn Best and I wish her the best in what she endeavors next.

(Hopefully she will have more time for her own painting, as she is a wonderful artist)
