April Showers... May Flowers







The vase is probably my favorite of the florals I painted in late winter/early spring for family and friends, but it took forever to paint. 

Blue and white pottery has been catching the eye for all of antiquity, so no wonder it resonates the most. It's probably been ingrained in me over the of course many lifetimes/through ancient DNA. 

The leaves are... not great. But I love it anyway.

Many of the postcards went to the Love For Our Elders organization, which I discovered through a work volunteer event. It's very simple... you write a handwritten note/letter to an elder who's been nominated to receive happy mail. So if I ever become a famous painter, my first paintings belong to people I found through volunteering. 

I also really love the California poppies.
