None of these Irises bloomed for me last year, but I fed them and mulched with good home-made compost and I got a spectacular show from them this season. Flowers are such a beautiful expression of The Great Spirit's tapestry. You just can't help being inspired by their amazing colors and designs. Mahalo Akua!
My Cymbidium orchid finally flowered. After 3 years and the same number of moves, it is in an environment that it likes and is really putting on a show. Each blossom is the size of a teacup and there are 10 of them on 2 stems. Gorgeous!
I made some progress yesterday on this portrait of my friend's niece that chose to end her own life last year...Tragic thing to have to live with for the people who loved her. I began this painting at the beginning of December(2010) and am just now feeling well enough to paint in short sessions. Progress is good! I'll see how much I can get done today.
