Paint Party Friday

Late AGAIN :-( 
It's been a slow week for me with very little energy and not much accomplished . 
I did finally get the painting finished last night but no energy then to post it. 
I'm beginning to think that winter is not a good season for me :) 
So once again I am thinking about summer and flowers and dreaming of green grass and warm sunshine on my skin. 
Here's today's painting...
"TASTING SUMMER" 


It's a 12in X 12in  gallery wrapped canvas done with acrylics and ink. 
It seems that Echinaceas are my flower of choice this year so perhaps I need to plant a few more  . I need to make sure I have lots of inspiration for new winters art ♥
Here are a few of the in-progress photos from yesterday. 



The red package in the first photo is a CD my daughter burned for me ... My very first Grateful Dead concert in 1973. The music I was listening to as I painted.

  1. Beautiful work, your canvas is really lovely. Echinacea is a healing plant, perhaps that's a reason why it is important for you. Hope you soon feel better, and I think we will all be happy when winter is over! Hugs, Vlerie

  4. Carol I love coneflowers! Such a pretty painting. The butterfly loves them too.. :) We planted lots of coneflowers in one of our beds and they did great for a couple of years. The Goldfinches loved munching on them at the beginning of winter. But they just didn't come up after a bit.

  7. I stopped by to see your Grow Your Blog post, but don't see it. I hope you are feeling well enough to get it up, because it was your blog I first saw the party from. Have a super day, regardless.
