Poinsettia

7 x 7.5 inches, watercolor, 2009.

A painting of a poinsettia, the plant that finds a place in so many homes over Christmas. There is a mistaken belief that they are poisonous.

Preparing for Christmas?

Here I go...I've made it so far! All the birthday and anniversary , etc. greetings I've mailed this year have been watercolor paintings. Now, here's the big holiday and almost the end of 2008 and I've managed to keep my promise.

So you have to know I will be painting for the next several days while cooking a Thanksgiving Feast.

A very HAPPY THANKSGIVING, EVERYONE!

Here's a sample. (one down thirty nine to go?)
A little Fog, a little Snow...
Happy Christmas from the Oregon I know!
