Starting a new painting

 The tulips were a Valentine's gift and as long as I felt like painting them I decided to imagine them in one of my favorite teapots.

I think it's off to a promising start, don't you?

A study in Lilies

It's much too warm, wet and windy to do very much outside today so I cut these flowers and ran for the house. I don't know what it's like in your part of the world but I'm never happy to see the same numbers for both the temp. and the humidity.
Yes, I stopped and picked some more raspberries before I came in.
You may have noticed that I grow several different types and colors of lilies. That should make the drawings and paintings a lot more interesting and may actually persuade me to buy some vases for next season. This old teapot was a bit difficult to work with.
