Alaskan Poppies

Sorry for the picture quality. My camera was not available. Here is a quick, "don't think about it too much", painting. Sometimes when I get in a slump, putting bright color on a canvas can liven me back up.
Enjoy,

Painting from bed

I have been in bed for the past week with a bad back. I haven't had my back go out like this since I was 18 or so. It amazes me that I can hall paint cans and ladders, juggle work and kids, clean the house and do loads upon loads of laundry and my back is fine. But put me in some high heels and take me to a wedding and WHAAMO! So needless to say I am bored out of my mind. My sweet husband got up this morning and moved a large chunk of my art supplies, from my studio, into the dining room so that I could paint. YEA! It has been 6 days since I could move. So this was really a treat. Thanks sweetie.

I decided, since I could physically only go to the dining room, I would go on vacation with paint. (Plus I have a cork and canvas class coming up and need a painting.) Hopefully I will be out of bed in time to teach the class.

So here it is.

Enjoy!
