I have been buying the hardy geraniums that are with mixed colors. I bought this one red one last year and it really is one of my favorite colors. This plant didn't grow this great outside all summer but inside this winter it has bloomed many times. I rescued it from a very dry spot in the arden and I really am glad that I did.
This is the second winter for this begonia. It has crashed though and seems to be struggling. I will try to get some newer soil on top of it this spring when I put it back outside.
The purple oxalis is showing off with very healthy looking leaves. I have been watering it with old aquarium water which is full of nitrogen. When I change out my water in my aquariums I store it in tubs and use it for all of my house plants.
Yes, I am still working on this pastel painting. I didn't like how dark it was so I am reworking trees and grasses making everything brighter and lighter. More blue sky showing through with that great color is really making me like the painting better. I like being able to come and go on it to solves its color and composition problems. I have added a couple suggestions of sea gulls that will be brightened as time goes by as I return to it. .
We have a wonderful day of sun today. It warmed up to 55 degrees F. and is a nice day. People north of us are melting off their snow but we didn't have that problem. Thanks for stopping by today.

Begonias sometime just need to be trimmed back to get looking better! What a pretty painting!
I admire the fact that you can create a beautiful scene with your painting. I don't have that talent!
