Painting an early Texas spring.

  
Just outside my doorway, a white flowering quince is budding out. I have had that plant for many years through several house moves. It sat in front of our Red Cape for a few years.

Weather in the 70's and even 80's has me painting flowers, some home grown and some purchased. If it is this warm now what will we suffer in July?!!

Today I am painting from some very disappointing white roses, instead of opening the poor things are turning brown just two days from the store!  I will try to paint a freshness they never really achieved.   e
