Geraniums

My Grandma had geraniums all along the carport on the east side of her house.  She had many different colors.  I have always loved them because they seemed to bloom for a long time.  I buy at least 2 pots a year.  I usually kill 2 pots a year.  They don't like for their roots to be wet so I either overwater them or forget to water them at all.  The only way I will have geraniums is to paint them!
I painted this painting before I went to a workshop where I was planning to use the setup.  I wasn't   happy with the way the light was on the subject so I covered the surface with retouch varnish in order to get good adhesion of the new paint.  I really intended to only do a few touch ups. Somehow that doesn't work for me, so I repainted the complete surface.  I am much happier with the way it is backlit.  Now if only I had a little computer Jeanie that would make the colors correct on the screen, I would be a happy camper!
