I picked these from the garden this afternoon and put them in this little antique teapot.

Sunflowers For You

I decided I wanted to paint these again, so I put them in a different vase and  put the light on them from the other side. I learned today that not only is the Sunflower the state flower of Kansas, it is also the symbol of the Vegan Society. But the best part is that sunflowers can be processed into a peanut butter alternative called "Sunbutter". Okay, how about a Sunbutter and jelly sandwich?

Today's Magnolia

Today's Magnolia

Driving home from dinner in Raleigh last night, I jokingly told my husband that

I ought to go ahead and pick a magnolia now so I can get an early start painting in the 

morning.  Next thing I knew he pulled over beside a huge magnolia tree and asked me if I needed the flashlight.  I should know by now not to say anything like that unless I mean it.

I did get a large flower that was fully opened up and had fun painting it first thing this morning!

Kitchen Glamour

Kitchen Glamour   SOLD

These beauties really light up a kitchen.

They look good and they know it!

Most of the other veggies steer clear because they know they

just can't compete with these two.

Chive Blossoms

Chive Blossoms
Chives are so handy for cooking and so easy to
grow.  I have sent countless clumps of chives
to be planted in other gardens and my friends always report great success
with them.  I usually cut off all the buds because it makes for
healthier plants. This year I let a few of them bloom just because
they are so attractive.

Sharing

Sharing

These two have been friends for a long time and spend every

winter together in my basement.  The wooden bunny is very good-natured

and doesn't even mind when he is made to dance all over the table.

The chick used to have a bag of jelly beans over her shoulder so now

we have to get her new ones every year...but she shares.

Pencils From Papier+, Paris

Pencils From Paris   SOLD
These are my favorite art pencils because they are fat, soft,
wonderfully bright, and French.(which is most always a nice attribute).
They came from a great little shop on Rue Pont Louis Phillipe,
called Papier Plus. I am pretty pleased with this colorful and lively
painting.  This one and several others will be at One Eleven Main,
the wonderful gift, home, and tableware store in Aberdeen, NC.
