Winding down in 2009


Well, that's about all for 2009. It has been nice to have some time off from classes, but I am busy looking over my thousands of photos betting ready for the new classes to start in January.
This is a painting I decided to do at the last minute for my Christmas cards. It is a poinsettia that I photographed last year in Jan. and kept going back to it because of the different shape of the leaves. It was a rather large straggly plant and had probably been there for years. It isn't your typical poinsettia bloom. That is what draws me to a subject, something that is a little different or has interesting light patterns.
