In April several years ago I took a series of photos of this particular female Grey Squirrel.  She would pose again and again with an offering of peanuts.  I've painted her in numerous poses since.


The flowers in my back yard are often solid in mass after a significant amount of rain.   As the season begins to fade,  the Silver Dollar Plant produces amazing dried disk shapes that look as if they were elegantly made of rice paper.   I've seen them in Dried Flower Shops for sale.  I should consider a painting including them.  They are indeed as beautiful as the flowers that precede them.


Today I'm finalizing another painting from this series of photos which will be posted on the my sister blog featuring art.  (reference the links on the right side of the blog to view)  So with that statement........  I'm off for now to the studio.  Starting the day with flowers puts a smile on my face.  I should paint more of them.
