Geraniums

This Geranium was bought as a small pot-plant as a project for a class many years ago and was later consigned to the kitchen window with numerous other plants which ended their days there through shameful neglect on my part. This plant refuses to stop flowering however and now lives happily on its third kitchen window sill and is a cherished member of the family..

I take it as a good sign that everything is ok with the world when my geriatric Geranium awakes from its slumber and starts to flower again, adding a splash of colour to the kitchen windowsill.  There are five further buds on other branches of this venerable plant which probably makes them cousins. I enjoyed doing this as a little sketch in a sketchbook and am looking forward to developing it into a larger painting.
