A friend’s dad once described himself as being “two shades under” when he wasn’t fully recovered from some bug.
While I wasn’t fully recovered from my bug, I felt good enough to briefly toodle around the yard, enjoying some color, some sunshine, some outdoors with tiny hints of green popping forth. Although it was mostly red that I was seeking, it was the green that I found the most life-giving.
That sounds all woowoo. What I mean is that I love seeing Three Rivers green instead of crunchy brown and dusty.
Then I went back inside and created my own bright spots of color. These were 2 small paintings begun last year, set aside, and forgotten. Worked just fine to set up in the dining area of the house and put in a few hours of productive labor.
Of course it must be said that these will look better when dry and scanned, and even better in person. They are each a 5×7″ panel that will be sold with a mini wooden easel for $60 (yeah, yeah, plus tax, sorry, take it up with Sacramento).

Thank you for your “study in reds” post. But how did the periwinkle iris get in there??
Sunshine is good for what ails ya, as my grandmother would say. I pray you continue to feel better!
And the poinsettia paintings are beautiful and seasonal!
P.S. Is that your wood stack? Impressive!
Sharon, the blue flowers are some sort of sage. That is one of our wood stacks. Wood is Michael’s hobby! Thank you for the kind words on the poinsettias.
