Agapanthus - November 27, 2009

Life loves to be taken by the lapel and told: 'I'm with you kid. Let's go.'

– Maya Angelou


Ooooo.... I LOVE that! I hope you U.S. folks had a terrific Thanksgiving!

5" x 7" Acrylic on Ampersand Panel


I did this little painting for the WetCanvas Plant Parade challenge. I know it doesn't look like the real thing, but it was fun anyway.
