Springing Back to the Blog!

It's been awhile since my last post.
(I wonder how many other blog posts begin like that!)

I've neglected it, I know.  Sometimes I think I'm the only one reading it! LOL!  

Okay, enough of that!  

Here's what I've been working on this week: loosening up!

I bought some beautiful red geraniums...well, not red exactly, 

but that gorgeous "straight-from-the-tube-cadmium-red" variety. 

My challenge was also to not make it too "straight-from-the-tube-cadmium-red", you know?

So, here was the first one.  A little on the tight side, huh?

...and here was the second one.  Closer to what I was aiming for.

...here's the latest one.  Getting closer and I'm really starting to l.o.v.e. painting this geranium.  

I think painting the same thing multiple times is a great way to learn.

So, there will be more!  Added bonus....they look really good in my neutral colored kitchen! :)

Thank for reading and looking!
