Un-Seasonable Greetings, or, I'm Dreaming of a White... Hollyhock?

"White Hollyhock"  oil 36" x 36"


Whatever your current weather, whatever your tradition of holidays... hope you're winding down the year and relaxing... dreaming big dreams of a better 2011... 

(Did anyone else see the red moon eclipse last night...? So mysterious and beautiful!)


A few of my canvases at
Gallery Leonardo in Leadville, Colorado

    What a beautiful photo of a flower. Are you planning to paint it? :-)

    I did not get to see the lunar eclipse. It rains only once in a blue moon here in Vegas - and I guess we can now add once in a lunar eclipse...

    Merry Christmas, R! I hope you have a great one.

    Simplesmente maravilhoso, fica-se sem palavras, e eu que
    não sou um grande admirador dos temas florais, mas perante
    tal obra, ela própria derrota-nos.
    Um feliz Natal e um Ano 2011 cheio de tinta.
    É o desejo deste seu amigo deste lado do Atlântico.


    Just wonderful, you become speechless, and that I
    I'm not a big fan of floral themes, but before
    such work itself defeat us.
    A merry Christmas and a Year 2011 full of ink.
    It is the desire of his friend on this side of the Atlantic.
