California Springtime or Roses in Winter

  Roses in Winter,  9" x 12" oil on canvas

Well, not to rub it in, but February is one of the most beautiful months in Southern California.  The strawberries here aren't quite ready but will soon be ramping up.  Winter veggies are perfect and the flowers are amazing!  We grow many of the flowers you'll get for Valentine's Day right here in Ventura County.  Last Wednesday I started this still life in my oil painting class.  It's not quite done; I have a few things I want to fiddle with but hmmm, I do love flowers.  Happy almost Valentine's Day!  xo
