Johnny Jump-Ups

"Johnny Jump-Ups"
16" x 20"
Oil on wrapped canvas
This terra cotta bowl with Johnny Jump-Ups spilling over the brim greeted me at the entry to my library not too long ago. Those purple blossoms leaned in toward the Forget-Me-Nots as if they were gossiping. 

My contest is over and ONE person won!  Below see the high and low temperatures for Chicago on July 17th.  The winner was Marilyn Olson of Wisconsin, with 100° and 81°.  Marilyn will get to choose one of the rose paintings!


CHICAGO 79 -- 99 MO CLDY

I want to thank all of you who participated in the contest, and for the many well wishes for my one-year anniversary!  I appreciate the support!

      The stories take form as my subject comes to life in paint. One reader likened my first paragraphs to little postcards discovered in a shoebox in the corner of an attic. 

      Thank you for your kind words. I appreciate your taking the time to comment.
