Orchid Dance, 2012, Jo-Ann Sanborn

acrylic on board, 5x7"

Try as I might, I can't the glare out of this painting.  But the orchids are lovely this year and the blooms are abundant. 

 I'm enjoying them all around the house.  Like many places, we've had a mild winter, and they already think it's Spring.

 

You can almost watch them opening.

Even the little guys are cute. 

I love having fresh flowers around the house, and almost always do. A small bouquet from the grocery helps bring a little sunshine in. For an artist, flowers bring extra pleasure. There's the pleasure of the selecting or growing, and the pleasure of the painting them, too

5x7, acrylic on canvas
$150

The moon was glowing gorgeous last night as dark clouds raced across the sky, and just as lovely this morning just before dawn. Hope you got to enjoy it.

Here's a little music, just in case you want to give the dancing a try. And then, of course, you can lasso the moon, as George promised in It's a wonderful life.
