I am amazed at how pretty some flowers can be -- and sensuous.

They also sell well in the galleries. Some small town galleries can start telling you what to paint real quick when things sell. I don't mind painting a flower ever now and then -- but I'd rather paint figures. I haven't taken anything to a gallery in two years -- I think I am still listed as one for their artists -- but I'm not sure. They just want to make money and stay open.
