Mystery Botanicals #34

Mystery at Lighthouse Point

While I paint I watch a cat 6 feet from me catch a mouse from our wood pile. It took the mouse in it's mouth and trotted home with it.

There are a few tiny flowers left in my yard. I use my rigger brush to make long flowing grass strokes and then balance icy blue vine leaves on top of them and through it all the tiny yellow dandelions poke their heads up. It is like a large wave of life is about to crash over them.
