The tulips are elegant and elusive; they dance and change under the light. I have to paint fast, for they move between strokes. They literally change position as they react to the warmth from the lamp. They don't last very long, but are so fun to paint.

I am so enjoying the quadrant paintings; four tiny paintings in one! I may do a series; oops, I already have. I forgot to post this one I did the other day.

Well, a week ago I wrote about how it had been hard to find painting time. This week, it was even harder. I began this painting as a way to paint something, even on a 3x3" division of a panel. After one daisy looked sadly at me all week, I decided to finish it. 

This is for Hilary, who loves daisies and purple, and was thoughtful enough to tell me she wanted it. She writes most of the posts on our family food blog, GreeneFood, and is starting to share some of her own writing and art at Kingsley + Kay. As a fellow introvert, I understand how hard that can be!
