486 White Clematis

I picked 5 of these very fragrant clematis last night intending to paint them in a jar this morning. However, only one survived the night so here it is in a little bulb vase.

It was a rather rainy day and I hibernated.  So I painted the brightest thing in the studio.

479 Garlic on Orange

Sometimes a little still life is a good way to start the day. I always have trouble finding something "meaningful" to paint. So why not just something deliciously beautiful. And I thought the black background really enhanced the look of the garlic. And black is a serious colour and garlic is a serious food. Well that's how I see it anyway.
