A few posies to brighten the day



My favorite time of year to buy flowers is when the days begin to get chilly. The bright colors and greenery erase the gloom in the air.






 I buy my flowers at various grocery stores. Years ago, I worked for a florist that owned the distribution center for the area and the grocery stores got the best flowers first.




I often buy fresh flowers and photograph them for some inspiration for paintings. I find that they are more often than not a primary inspiration.


Last year I used roses for my Christmas eve dinner centerpiece.


I also used roses in several places around the house this year for Thanksgiving.

So pretty - the color is just amazing. I agree - fresh flowers in winter are essential! My last bunch were white roses, which I'm loving paired next to my red & pink poinsettias. Very "candy cane" inspired!
