Welcome to My Red Cape. Long ago in another time my husband Jack and I lived in a little old red house. It was the stuff of dreams to us for the few years that we were there. I live there still a number of hours every day in imagination, with old dolls and paintings and fabrics and feather trees. I draw inspiration and happiness from the memories of that space in time and share some of it here with friends who remember how to step with Alice through the looking glass and take delight in whimsies and antiquities. ~Edyth O’Neill

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
