I thought I'd post a picture of the lovely Hyacinth that has bloomed in my front room. A fantastic perfume fills the room..and it is so bright..January is always a dull month..The UK is being lashed by gale force winds and torrential rain today. One interesting bit of news has been the lifting of a hose-pipe ban by Thames water which has been in effect over a year!The bottles next to the Hyacinth incidentally were painted by me some years ago.I got the idea from a piece by Rene Magritte the famous Belgian surrealist. A link I'll leave you with here to go and be amazed by!

Along with Van Gogh,Escher,Dali and Gustav Klimt,Rene Magritte is one of the artists whose work I really admire.One specific picture of his (it is not there in the link you gave),where there is a giant comb,in an ordinary room, and where there are ordinary everyday objects, with distorted proportions,is one picture of his I really like.(I dont know what its named)
The Hyacinth is beautiful.So are the bottles you painted.

The color is so rich! I am always amazed at nature's ability to awe us with beauty - even on a windowsill.
