Continuing on with the Camellia theme. This is the last one.

A fun little teapot I picked up in a thrift store last week.

 

On a separate note, I have now painted a painting  a day for five months!

Few! Only seven to go......

I really enjoyed painting these camellias. It's been interesting

 finding out which flowers hold up well for painting still lifes. Only a few so

far can lay on a shelf out of the water and under a strong light

unwilted for up to four hours. Camellias get two thumbs up for this. 

Day 148 The Neighbor's Camellias

I did it! I knocked on the door of a neighbor that I only knew

slightly and asked if I could have a Camellia flower or two. To

be fair it was a low risk situation since I was planning on taking

the flowers that had already fallen on the ground. She was so nice

about it though that I bucked up and asked if I could trim off a short

branch. She was okay with that too. What do you know!

 

Is it just me or do you think this might be a nice Mother's Day present?

Just a thought. :)
