Flower Inspiration

The flower pictures in a book about Georgia O'Keeffe's 1939 painting expedition in Hawaii is inspiring me to get back into painting.

Unlike botanical drawings, which are usually life-size, her paintings are larger than life.

(Maybe I need a break from my winter tidying and de-cluttering spree...)

I've been eyeing this lovely mixed bouquet of flowers...

So many kinds and colors!

There's no way anyone would know that they all came from a single bouquet...

... and not from a trip to Hawaii!!
