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!
