Today's Beauty

A rainy Wednesday morning.
My flowers are getting drentched.
I am hoping they will perk up again
after days of rain is over.
The rose I picked yesterday is smiling.
I hope I can capture her beauty with the brush.
Her blushing pink beauty reminds me
of the thousands of roses I've painted through the years,
the joy I have had teaching otherswhat I love so much,
the smiles, the excitement, the frustration
the WOWS.
Forty five years ago Nadine Farquhar
caught my attention with her beautiful roses..
Her brush was all over the palette,
picking up everything under the rainbow.
Today I find myself all over the palette.
I love the softness, the boldness, the gracefulness,
the looseness, the movement.
To touch the painting with gentleness
and with love, is true joy.
I set here and paint with loving memories.
