On another jacaranda-painting expedition a few weeks ago with our sketching group, I ended the session with a couple of sketches of the thousands of fallen bougainvillea blossoms at my feet. I found the brush shaped petals and forms so enjoyable to paint, even roughly and quickly as I did them then (below), that I collected a hatful to take home. Yesterday I got to spend another happy hour or so painting them, now dried, more carefully, but still trying to keep them carefree. I think they'll do to wish every one of you a wonderful, joyous and peaceful festive season, however you celebrate it, wherever you are.

"They'll do" very nicely! Thank you, and every good wish to you, too.
(If I get through a round of meetings I may just post some poincianas as my southern festive flower!)
Des nuances de couleurs sublimes...

I wonder what it's like to live where Christmas is warm with blossoms like these at your feet instead of snow :) Lucky girl! Thanks for sharing these beauties and hope your Christmas is bright with 2012 bringing you many new and adventurous creative pursuits :)
