This is my still for the week. I am keeping this one. It is of two Peonies in a blue china dish. This Peony plant was 
handed down from my Grandma that painted. If you have ever read my bio you know what I am taking about. All of us girls have one that came from the original in her garden. Isn't that cool? Next spring I will try to remember to split this one so I can start getting more ready for the next group of kids.

Next spring I will try to remember to split this one so I can start getting more ready for the next group of kids. Well, I am currently reading the life story of Vincent Van Gogh. Just fascinating. I always love life stories set back in time anyway, but throw in an obsession with art and you got me.
Have you ever taken a liking to someone just because they remind you of someone you know? Is it just me or does Vincent look a little like Foster? Maybe I am just going crazy.
This one is up on ebay.

hi jen both new paintings are lovely your cat does look like vincent you are not going crazy ...... have you ever seen the film the yellow house its really good its about vincent and his time at this house you can watch it online at 4od channel four uk ... im looking forward to getting chicken girl every time i see the teeth it reminds me of the story about roses face when she saw them so funny bye for now love clairexx
I love the new paintings, Jen! Yes, foster definitely looks like Vincent...you are not crazy. Laura and I just watched a movie about Georgia O'Keefe last night. She sure had a terrible husband! Oh My! Lots of tragedy in these artist's lives. Perhaps there is a correlation. My Peonies from Nonie (our grandma) are starting to bloom. I need to transplant them to a sunnier spot though.
It's Mr. Foster Van Gogh!
I love Van Gogh. I recently painted his mother and also him. It was fun. Yes I have plants that were cuttings from so many different family members. I do mean a lot. They have grown and given new plants and we've planted those and gotten more and you know how that goes. Take care and have a great weekend. Happy Mothers's Day to you.

OH I love it. I love impressionism. Yours is so perfect honey. Oh and Foster totally looks like him...heehee
The latest one with the peony in the blue dish reminds me so much of Delft blue! Grew up in a dutch household so needless to say was surrounded by it and now have engulfed my kitchen in it! Love, lOVE, lOVE IT! So sweet that the plant was handed down after many years! Make's it so more special! Thanks for sharing!

Foster is definitely Van Gogh! I think it's his coloring and the shape of his face! Very proper and poised. I love the still life of the peonies...so pretty. We have Nonie's (my great grandmother ^_^) peonies in a vase on our table right now. Can't wait for our summer gatherings to start...always with avocados ;).
