My favorite Flower picture

This is one of my favorite flower pictures.

I like the colors the shapes and the contrast.  I have been sick lately so I haven't posted much.  Sorry about that.  I hope you enjoy this picture as much as I do.  Have a happy New year and I hope this year will bring positive changes in your life.

Happy New year!

Happy New year! Hope this last year was a satisfying and good experience for all of you. I must say the strain of painting the portraits of 19 people last year has taken its tole. I am struggling with painting anything right now. I don't know if its because the snow is coming or that I am frustrated with the lack of sun and am getting depressed. This is the first time since I started painting that I haven't painted in a week. I have had some pretty terrific headaches. I think this may be because I am again trying to practice listening and speaking again. I don't quite know what I am doing with it but somehow I think it is important to something inside me. I hope it doesn't turn off my ability to paint I will have to test this out. I had a good holiday with the grand-kids and they also stayed over on New Years Eve. They do make me laugh. Zac told me today that he does not want to take pictures this coming year for the Art Contest that we enter together. He want to paint something for it.
