Lily With Red Carnations

By Jenny Armitage

Yes there are red carnations in the painting. You just haven’t looked closely enough. Both the carnations and the lily come from the Valentine’s Day bouquet my husband gave me this year.

Last week’s art show was on OSU campus in Corvallis.  Early Friday morning it was dry and clear and the morning light was stunning, but I had no time to do anything but rush inside the Memorial Building to finish setting up.  Sunday was dry, clear and cold too, so I went... »
