Visiting family in Albuquerque always means early morning walks in the neighborhood. Because New Mexico has had so much snow and rain this year, the day lilies and hollyhocks abound. When I can't draw or make prints, I love to take photos, especially 'flower portraits'.

Mireille... Your English is perfect; I wish I could respond in French. Thank you for visiting and, if my flowers can inspire you, feel free to paint from the photos.
