The Garden

It rained so hard yesterday, and the sun barely came out, but it was one of those beautiful tea drinking days. Walking around the garden I saw a ton of humming birds hovering around flowers. I mostly worked on my cabbage painting. Its coming along and the prints of some of my other paintings will be done soon. 

Cabbage

Ok so these paintings have to come with an explanation. First of all I've always loved seeing cabbage grow, its always cheered me up and fascinated me. Come on, those are some of the prettiest leaf bundles around. Plus I think the charm of the cabbage patch kid logo has never really worn off.

In any case I did the smaller painting (the one below) on a whim and now I think I might do a series of them. The larger one (above) is still in progress but I'm very excited about it. The finished painting is likely to show up at my other blog.

New Chair

Gee, that new chair sure will come in handy. That is if the cat ever lets me sit on it. Maybe I can just pretend she is decorative pillow. 

Running Around

I've been fairly busy recently, most of it is apartment hunting and painting. Tomorrow I have an interview with a gallery, which is pretty exciting. Still have to get ready for that! The garden is bursting here especially after all the rain we have gotten, it really looks stunning. 

Getting used to cooking, and acquiring a number of dishes so that I don't get too overwhelmed. Recently I made some german pancakes, the recipe is from Smitten Kitchen.
I absolutely love the recipes on that site. These pancakes are made in the oven, and they just puff up on their own.
