10am-ish

Greetings,

Welcome to the Cooper studio. Regarding yesterday's promise for an image about 10am---well, I'll bet it's 10am somewhere. Just not in Jefferson, Iowa, as we speak.

But here's the work:

We are temporarily calling it geranium study. With my glasses off, it looks ready to sign, but I had to put my glasses on for the camera and decided otherwise :)

Regarding the (ahem) model, it's one of my sanity geraniums. While we were still at Spencer, Iowa, wondering when the house was going to sell, and when the great relocation to Jefferson, Iowa, was going to happen, there were some dubious moments where I was ready (almost) to walk away from it all. The alternative was to go out and pamper my pots of geraniums. On really dubious days, I made a trip out to buy a new one for the collection :) And when the time came, we moved the WHOLE collection. They seem to like living in Jefferson, and there are multiple good windows in our new/old house where they can overwinter. Have I mentioned we bought a 1901 craftsmen bungalow? It's a charmer and will be even more so once we get rid of the 70's vintage carpets! Avocado and rusty gold shag---woohoo.

Later, Cooper

ps. Tomorrow I am at Artapalooza in downtown Cedar Falls, Iowa. Stop by if you are in town!

	I LOVE your geranium ... the model and the painting!... -like the way you've captured the light on the pot.. -like how you've massed in the flower clusters -...do you paint AROUND the flowers/leaves pots after you've painted them or do you do the flowers/leaves afterwards or ... neither... both??? Always love dropping in Karen... glad your move has worked out so well.
