  1. Lovely Murray painting. I like how he uses the clouds. We thank Thomas Hood for the words "It was not the winter our loving lot was cast, it was the time of roses - we plucked them as we past".

    1. It would be nice (and dizzying) to walk in a sea of roses...

  5. Georgia O'Keefe is well known for her flowers. I don't have that one. I shared one of her non-florals today. More for the other colors!
