Gift of Flowers daily painting by painter Jo-Ann Sanborn

Gift of Flowers, 2012, Jo-Ann Sanborn

acrylic on board, 7"x5"

Artist Mary Sheehan Winn  and I have known each other's work for some time, and keep in touch via the Internet.  Mary's a snowbird, and we're both pretty busy in season, so it took some time to find a space to visit. 

We decided on a little painting in the studio, and a nice lunch.  Perfect!  

Mary walked in with some cheerful sunflowers for me, and I had a couple of my first, fragrant gardenia's for her.  In  a couple of hours each had a painting going -- flowers, of course. 

We decided that it was easy and fun to paint in the studio, but we really want to get out into the Everglades before she leaves for the summer.  It's a plan, Mary!
