'Stems'

It's my anniversary! My oil painting anniversary, that is.
One year ago today, I painted and posted my very first small painting in oils!
I've had the time of my life, and I've learned so, so much.
I haven't painted many flowers, or what I should say is, I haven't completed many paintings of flowers, because, well, they're tough!
These little lovelies came home with me yesterday thanks to my sweet mother-in-law, and after seeing the roundy vase I knew I had to try painting them. To take the pressure off, I put the focus on my favorite parts -- the vase and stems. I gotta say, I'm diggin' those stems.
Thanks for watching my progress this past year - I can't wait to see what the next one brings. :)

Beautiful and you would never know that flowers are difficult for you! I like your composition, too. And the red so intense and, of course, those stems!!!
Thanks, Linda - so nice!
Ooops! Forgot to say congratulations on your one year blogaversary!!
Happy one year "small oil painting" anniversary Norma! It was very fun to go back and look at your paintings a year ago and see how much you've progressed in the medium. I really look forward to seeing what you do in the coming year!
Oops sorry Nora if I typed Norma. We used to have the sweetest old couple as neighbors. Their names were Norm and Norma - I kid you not. I miss them.
Thanks, Linda - and Susan! No worries about the name, Susan - happens all the time. :)
