Kissing Up

"Silver Cup"
NFS

I have the best students but one in particular.  She has the most beautiful flowers and all I have to do is call and say..."Whatcha got today"?  Amazingly, she shows up with perfectly arranged flowers in a vase, mason jar or beautiful container.  Now I just have to paint these wonderful gifts with as much love and passion as Patti puts into growing and arranging them.  So now hopefully, I have kissed up enough to ensure that the supply continues.  Oh, by the way, she's an amazing graphic artist & marketing guru.  Was that last sentence too much?!  Thanks, Patti.

This is just SO sweet! It's yummy! I did a little still life today too, but after seeing yours, well - guess I better go back to the drawing board...

The soft colours and shades in your still life give a wonderful atmosphere.

I can see why she brings you flowers. You preserve them forever! There's love in this painting. Not sure if its for the friend or the flowers... Either way, this friendship you share is a wonderful gift!
