This past winter I received 3 amaryllis bulbs! They bloomed consecutively, providing me with many days of beauty in my kitchen window, which looked out on a bleak white landscape until recently. This one provided a chance to paint a magenta underpainting, a new background colour for me to try. I hope I captured the contrast of the gorgeous flower against the wintery landscape. It did indeed provide me with great joy in the middle of January!

My recent paintings reflect the old-fashioned snowy weather we've had in our area this winter. Snow banks are higher than usual, making driving around corners difficult, school buses are cancelled every week, and bushes are buried in white, hiding the damage that will show up in the spring. As an artist, I find winter gorgeous to admire..... from inside! I've completed four paintings that reflect this beautiful (but burdensome) season. You might get a chill while you look at them!
