Orange Day Lily on Grecian Plate

 I love this time of year because our backyard comes to life with a rainbow of blooming day lilies.  They are stunning.  Last Summer I painted a similar painting so I decided to have an accompanying painting.  I picked one of the gorgeous orange blooms and placed it on a plate that my husband I bought when we made a trip to Greece, which was a life long dream of mine.  This plate is a hand-made plate from Rhodes, Greece by Bonis Pottery.  All of that information is carved in the back of the plate.  It hangs in my kitchen along with another hand-made plate from Greece.

Here is the other day lily painting.  I think they'll look great together.

Thought I would share some pictures of our backyard.  Just love when the day lilies are in bloom.  Wish it lasted all year:)

Hope you have a great day, I'll be posting again on Wednesday,

See you then,

 Once again our yard is in full bloom with day lilies.  I am forever appreciative of the former residents that planted just about every color and variety of day lily.  They are beautiful and I look forward to this time of year.  I'm sharing my day lily painting with you.  I plan on doing another one as soon as I'm finished with my commissioned painting that I'm working on.

Hope everyone is having a fabulous Memorial Day weekend.  As a military wife I am certainly thankful for all of our men and women serving our country past and present.
