It has been a long while since I have seen a bloom in my garden. Even now, no blooms in the garden but imagine my surprise when I walked into the dining room and found that the Flowering Maple had a couple of blooms. It was such a lovely surprise. This crazy flower usually only blooms for me during fall. I will take it though. It gives me such hope and expectation for spring. Yes, the days are getting longer. I can hardly wait.

Lisa...you are a wonderful botanical illustrator...and animal illustrator too! Great flower...love the details. Love how you write your titles.
I agree with Julie. this is lovely. I need to do the geranium in my sunroom. I love it that the days are getting longer. :))
I love your flower and good thoughts of spring! I noticed I could see into the back yard this morning, it's still dark, but there's a hint of light.
I've never heard of a flowering maple! How pretty it is. Yes, it won't be too much longer now. I'm seeing tiny sprouts of spring bulbs pushing up through the ground. So exciting.
You are really good at drawing plants and animals.
A lovely surprise indeed and you've captured it so well. Yes, the days are lengthening!
A beautiful surprise and a beautiful painting!!
Beautiful painting Lisa. Such detail. Happy for you to find the blooms!
What a cute surprise Nature gave you!. The painting is lovely too!
And yes I love it too when the days get longer. I long for spring as well. It will be wonderful to see flowers in my garden again.

I agree with Julie too.
Simply fabulous and inviting!
Your illustrations are getting better and better each time I come by.
Love how you progress as an artist!
Lisa,
That is a favourite for me. Beautiful I love it. Reminds me of those lovely illustraions I would find in Victorian botanical books.
Gorgeous :)
Lisa.... now, we KNOW Spring is really on the horizon! This is a beautiful, beautiful sketch! You really are so talented!
Here, in SF, we have had an usually mild *Winter*... the dryest in over 40 years...the Cherry Blossoms and other flowering trees and plans are already in bloom....
Sending you a big hug from SF,

I tell you, Lisa, you double your pleasure: growing such a lovely blooming plant and then, illustrating it as well, ensuring that the pleasures last. Enjoy! I sure did.
