Waiting for Summer & Purple Anemone

I painted from a photo I took last summer of chard

in the garden.  I was just going to call it  "Chard", and  then

"Swiss Chard",  and then "Rainbow Chard",  but it didn't have any yellow or orange.  And then, I began to get so hungry looking at it, I called it:  "Waiting for Summer".

And while I'm still waiting for spring, I painted, "Purple Anemone", one of the first bulbs to come up in my garden .  Acrylic on canvas 14 x 11
