Afternoon Prelude, Floral
12"x12" oil on gessoed archival panel
“The afternoon knows what the morning never suspected.”
- Swedish Proverb
Thursday was windy and chilly, so I stayed in to get caught up with all my framing for the paintings I'm taking down to Norfolk, VA next week. Early Friday morning I went out for some flowers to paint. All the colors they have now that it's Easter week- hehe, they called some of them "Jelly-bean Bouquets", and the colors were just like that! I've set this arrangement up as sort of a tea-break before afternoon- sort of an afternoon 'fortification'. These paintings I've done in this series are a reminder to bring these things into our lives; flowers for the table, a cup of tea, a bit of honey to sweeten, a bit of fruit, and some colorful linens just for the cheer of it. Hope you can make room in your life for some of these things.

Jane! Thanks so much, I was just over admiring your landscapes!
Diane, thanks so much for the kind words! You are one of the most inspiring still-life painters to me! I love your painterly combinations (and I'm going on a hunt for new vases & pitchers)!!!
