I have a large group of callalilies in "the back 40" that volunteer year after year. These were two of the earlier blooms that I photographed and then painted.
We had dinner at a restaurant on the beach recently and were rewarded with a beautiful sunset which I've tried to capture the memory of here. The view was remarkable and so was the food. If you would like to purchase this painting ---
My husband and I went to San Diego last weekend to check out a possible show. It was such a beautiful day that we decided to visit the S. D. Zoo. It had been many years since our last visit and we were impressed with the changes--it truly is a beautiful zoo. The flamingoes were at their best and I got lots of wonderful pictures of them to work with. They are amazing creatures!!
This was a memory from our trip to Virginia Beach many years ago. I managed to get up early enough to see the sunrise and it was worth it! We stayed in a cottage right on the beach so the view was spectacular.
My Mother used to love her tea and enjoyed it the most when it was in one of her lovely china cups. She had a collection and treated them with loving care. I store them in my china cabinet now and think of her every time I see them.
The callalilies in my backyard are fluorishing. They volunteered themselves many years ago and all they ask for is a little water. They bring much joy!
This is an original watercolor painted on a textured surface with a final varnish so that glass is not necessary. Enlarge the image by clicking on it to see the texture.
