WINDOWSILL SUNSHINE oil on canvas on board, 6x4

I painted this yesterday afternoon in my studio when the sun was on my windowsill and the azaleas were mostly in the shade. This bottle of wine was given to me by my friend because it's such a pretty bottle and remains unopened. One day, we'll open it... I used a #8 bristle flat on this, except for my signature. I always use as big a brush as possible to keep me from painting details.

These are azaleas my mother brought from their yard when she and my father came to visit today. They are a different variety from the ones I've been painting from my neighbor's yard. I put these in a vase of water, hoping they would last for a few days.
