Amaryllis and Orange


There's frost on the stubble of last summer's annual garden this morning. I need to think ahead and order amaryllis bulbs to force these last weeks of autumn, so that in a few months I can look past that flash of bright red on my studio windowsill toward the unending white of deep winter.

Hello Susan,
I have just chanced by your blog whilst surfing. OMG, you are truly amazing !!

I cannot imagine how much effort would have gone into the card detail and the china plate border. The postmark detail on the envelope is superb.

With your permission, may I save this amazing work as my desktop background.

I look forward to seeing your work for the National Rural Electrification Commission.

Best regards

Vijaya
