Every autumn I move my geraniums into the house. For decades it was the back corner of the basement, but once I began using that area as studio space and there wasn’t really any alternative down there, I started keeping them at upstairs windows. They are just as happy, still get their slight dormant period wdq, . After resting for a month or two, perhaps responding to the lengthening days, they always bloom in mid-January and their variety of pinks is always welcome at a time of year when flowers are in short supply. I tucked the blossoms into my small vintage turquoise milk pitcher atop a gingham napkin and one afternoon decided I just had to paint them.

One wasn’t enough, though, I painted two versions of this just for fun, this one in chalk pastel and the other in oil pastel. Both are just tiny things, 4″ x 4″, little sketches done in the middle of the day. I like them both!
