It's still too early for these lovely flowers to be open this season but I took plenty of photos last year of these gems.  They always put a smile on my face!

Going to title this one "Focused".  It is 16.5"x12" and I'll frame it 24"x18"

Here's something I've been working on while at Iron & Lace Store.  Plan to have it hanging there soon.  This is of Bill Printy, the Blacksmith and the "Iron" of Iron & Lace Store.  His wife, Betty Printy, is the potter/weaver.   I snapped the photo of Bill that I'm using as a reference for this image. He was working last fall (2010) on a copper piece for a clicnt.

I plan to do a pastel of Betty soon.  We're still deciding what "pose".  Nothing formal!
