The camellias in my yard are getting ready to bloom again. These were
painted from my spring blossoms and hopefully gaining attention and
a new home from the show Art at the Mill which ends this weekend.

I am especially looking forward to seeing the blooms this season,
in stark contrast to the tree that was felled form Irene, not two
feet away from it. Photos will follow. And of course, more paintings
of camellias.

I saved this camellia before a rainstorm and put it into the nearest container and almost forgot it, as I got distracted with something else in my studio, which is the bane of my existence of late. As the afternoon wore on and I was starting to get ready to cook dinner I noticed the light hitting the fading bloom in its little pitcher. Opportunity presented itself ...or was it just a distraction from making dinner?
