Today I bought a great big bouquet of flowers...I've yet to paint them.

But I did complete a painting with the same colors you used today... :)

Happy Birthday!

Your daily posts are like a small gift. I lived in France for 20 years and love to see your beautiful landscapes. They bring back such wonderful memories for me. All your paintings are simply wonderful, sensitive,restful and joyful. For me, it is something to aspire to.

Transparent glass, water and flowers are elements of some of my favourite art pieces. This is lovely, and if today was your birthday, I hope it was a happy one. :)

Happy Spring-Is-Just-Around-THe-Corner Birthday Julian. Daffs in glass against the blue were delicious colors. February to end none to soon. This means that in Connecticut USA tulips are just two inches below soil level, just charging upwards to bring us joy. cheers, geo

Your work focuses at about four feet for me. Like Monet. Just a bit longer than my reach. So to see it, I have to prop up the tablet and look from a small distance. I love that loose and confidant brush strokes can morph into such perfect reality as I retreat. Thanks.

Painter’s notes

Ruth and I both bought assorted bunches of daffodils on Friday, and by the time I painted these on Saturday we were again two inches deep in snow—spring will come eventually!
