I love Thanksgiving. Coming from the UK this holiday is, of course, foreign. Perhaps because of that, we can steal what is good about it and not get caught up in the baggage of obligation that we hear some of our American friends complain about. So no travel for us, just low key relaxation, indulgent cooking and – aw shucks, we’ll admit it – giving thanks!
At 36 x 48 inches, this is my second whopper – see Super Size Me!

Later that weekend it was too cold and wet to be outside and so I turned to a vase of flowers – a favorite – anemones, lush and bold but not quite as Barbara Cartland blousy as peonies.
Love the trees and also the photos!
Thanks Candace. I have an excellent photographer on call!
Extraordinary paintings – as we all expect from you – but oh the joy of seeing the anemones flowering while it is brutally cold outside. Brilliant.
Thank you Bart!
I really do love looking at your painting, Mike. Sadly, my lap-top cannot print them in colour. Your photographer is pretty good also, what’s the name? Michael.
He is always acknowledged (I’m no fool). You may know him, not a bad chap…
