Happy New Year everyone!

I really wanted to get a happy post up for Jan 1 and it's been gray, gloomy, drizzly, dismal weather for days and days so I have chosen a happy, cheerful flower painting to greet the new year.
I have taken some time off from posting and commenting and I want to get back to it at least occasionally.
This is a beginner attempt by me to follow a Karen Rice tutorial.
