New Born Iris

My neighbor was kind enough to give me iris bulbs last year, and they have started to bloom.  These are really nice blue and yellow flowers.  I'm excited to see what's coming next.

Frderick Childe Hassam (American, 1859-1935).

 Thinking about April Showers.  I think we've had enough as of the end of March, but I do love pictures of rain, and found this on the internet.  I'd love to paint it, but don't think I'm up to something this involved. 

Happy St. Patricks Day

I knew there was a reason I took this picture of a bunch of clovers...........

More Spring

I went out into my little yard this morning and noticed some new blooms on my  favorite rose.  This is the first batch since we pruned it back this winter.  I wish I knew the name of it, because I'd get some more.  It has the best fragrance, plus it holds it shape for a really long time, and while my other roses get all kinds of bugs, this one doesn't.  They aren't fully opened yet, but they're one their way.  Take a look.

Another good one is Double Delight.  It is almost as good as the red one above.

These little flowers bloom every Spring.  Don't know what they are, but we have about 50 bushes.  I look forward to them every Spring.

Seagull Watercolor Painting

Just finished another watercolor.  I am looking for a name for this one, so if you have any ideas let me know.  I think the quirkier the better.
