for a couple of hours, on a beautiful day

I was trying to figure out why I feel such a strong affinity for this photo. Then I realized I've been painting flowers, and this dude painted a whole lot of them. Every time I've gone to my studio during the last week and a half, I've done a small flower painting. It's an easy way to create a series without having to do much, and it is sort of like a calendar, or a diary, of time spent in my studio. Really need to upgrade my camera situation so I can post some of them.
