Lupins Galore!

I seem to be surrounded by lupins. Pink ones in front and yellow ones at my back door.

Purple and blue ones are mid-field and another patch take up almost an entire garden. How could I not be inspired to paint them on a couple of 8" serving bowls?

They also seemed perfect to put on this tall water jug. A great way to have little bit of spring year round, I think.

Since most of the weekend was spent sitting amongst the lupins painting (me), doing crossword puzzles (Richard), and feeding the chippies (both of us), check out Richard's blog to see a great pic of one of the chippies.
