Sweet Rememberances - Vase of Sunflowers

A true friend is one who thinks you are a good egg even if you are half-cracked.

Nancy, my art friend blogged about me. I was trying to think of a good friend quote in response. I think this one is a perfect one. (She thinks I'm a funny friend - dunno if it's "funny - ha ha" or "funny - peculiar")
I think I must have still been thinking of Van Gogh when I painted this vase of flowers. I almost named it "Vincent's Flowers" but decided on:
"Sweet Rememberances"
Oil on Canvas, 14 x 11 x 3/4 inches

A Hundred Poems - Cherry Blossoms






















I grew up hearing 100 Poems by 100 Poets recited by my grandmother. This was a card game played at New Year's in Japan.
This is a painting of a branch of Cherry Blossoms in a round vase - felt it had a touch of Japan to it so I named it "A Hundred Poems"
14 x 14 inches , Oil on stretched canvas.
