After a day spent doing art business (finishing framing for the show I’m hanging Thursday evening, writing up the descriptions of the four flower paintings to be published in a book on flower painting, and sorting photos to make room on my hard drive) I needed to sit down for an hour and paint a pretty flower in watercolor to soothe my spirit.

I took the photo I painted from just a week ago when it was bright and sunny and my friend Judy’s Tulip Tree was in bloom. Today we’re back to winter with cold winds, sideways rain and gray skies.
