happy birthday!
I love color and right now the favorite seems to be orange, not just any orange but a wonderful tangerine color.  It’s perfect for spring.   So perfect in fact that I almost bought some tangerine colored peeps simply for the color.  Don’t ask me what I was going to do with them once I got them home, maybe decorate the fireplace with them or something because I sure as heck wasn’t going to eat them.
I’m so drawn to colors and while I’m drooling over tangerine right now, the color I will be most loyal to is purple and all its various shades and hues.  I never tire of looking at the color.  It’s not surprising then that my most favored paintings are mostly purple.

  • It sounds like your pregnancy makes you crave paint chip samples rather than pickles and ice cream.

    These are some of my favorite of your paintings, though I am pretty partial to the watercolors in your kitchen too. I can’t wait to have my landscape haning in my house.

    I think you’re right. And you should see the most amazing tangerine colored dress I just bought.
    Well, off to paint my dining room for the third time. Third time’s the charm.

  • I could not resist adding my gift from Meghan to her photos here! I begged and pleaded for the vineyard painting and it paid off, I got it for my birthday.
