peculiar

so ... i was at costco today .... buying my usual grapes, apples, bananas, berries and avocados ..... and looking at the unusual ... and found down right peculiar ...

with the cut flowers, i found these:

 what are they? aren't they odd? they look like pine cones only yellow turning orange ... and they feel like rubber ... and they are at the end of super thick, tough stems .... quite peculiar .... labeled as mixed flowers .... i felt compelled to buy the oddity ... they seem like they'll last for ages because of their rubberiness ... like how amaryllis can last a long time ... they don't appear to be wilters .... we'll see .... anyone have a name for me?

my art today is a nest ... i'm not sure it's finished .... on a 12 by 12 canvas ... with a dictionary background ....

wow is it nesting time here ... it was a cold and rainy day .... it was election day and my youngest didn't have school ... we mostly nested ... stayed inside snug and warm .... except for a lunch date with pals and the aforementioned foray into costco .....


today is day six of art every day, aka, don't forget to blog every day about the art you're doing ... 

i hope you voted if you are in the u. s. of a. ..... regardless of whom you choose, voting is the right thing to do.
