Stigma and Stamens, Oil on Canvas

Monday... Labor Day! I'm posting an older work today, an abstraction of a magnified flower (a white geranium, actually), while I mention a couple things. I've been working on a commission so have done fewer small paintings in the last few days. Its basically done, now, so I've begun my small daily paintings again. (I missed those small studies during the last few days!) I hope to have something to post in the next few days from my newest efforts!

Also, several days ago, Cindy at Rosehaven Cottage, honored me with a Creative blogger award! I was not expecting such a thing, but happily surprised. It is now up to me to pass on this award to other deserving bloggers! I've been thinking about this and want to pass it on thoughtfully. According to the rules which I found at Writer's Reviews, I should pass this on to 5 others. I'll be doing that over time ... but immediately, I'd like to pass it on to

Kathleen Cavender, who I think has an amazing blog to go along with her beautiful art work and her wonderful writing.

and Nelda Jansen, whose work I greatly admire!
