Last Fall I decided to bring in my
four flower boxes of geraniums as they
were still gorgeous. I sprayed for bugs and
then moved them to my garden window
by my bath tub. They bloomed happily
all winter and especially at Christmas.
Moved them out to there usual place for summer
and they are still looking beautiful.
This is for Summer of Color.
The color this week is red.
I did it in watercolor , pen and ink.
I can hardly wait to see what color Kristin has
picked for next week!

Wonderful!!! i also love geraniums, shall take pictures I have quite a selection of different colors.
I love geraniums and mine are complaining about the heat. Arggggh. Love your watercolor!
I've always wished to bring in my geraniums - did it once but they succumbed to an infestation. I have some lovely ones this year, so maybe I'll give it a try.
Your painting is very sweet - you captured the red.
Oh wow its a gorgeous painting. x
Spot On! Very Pretty! And You've captured the leaves of an Geranium so perfect!
Pretty pretty geraniums, beautifully painted.
I love geraniums, I've got some potted up on my patio table so I can see them from my kitchen window as it's too wet to sit outside and enjoy them :o(
Fabulous reds! Can't wait to see your zinnias ;)
Big hugs, thinking of you,

Geraniums are the perfect flower for a window box, planter or just to enjoy and smile. I never thought to bring mine indoors this past winter and now they are frozen, dead and gone! Love your watercolor in red. Wondrous week to you...
Love your geraniums :) & wow, what a view you have...breathtaking!!

I can't say which is more beautiful, your painting or the original! So so pretty Sharon, I look forward to seeing what you do with next weeks color!!
What a nice place to overwinter geraniums. I've heard of the basement, but this is far better. Lovely watercolor...
Oh, I love geraniums! And these (both the painted and the real) are lovely!
What a beautiful colour you have used to colour this geranium....lovely work.
Beautiful drawing, and picture! with that gorgeous back drop of trees. I think I'm moving in?

You can find this flowers hanging from almost every window in my home town. It makes me very home sick but in a good way.
Your painting captures the essence of this plant.
But to be honest what I like the most id the view that you have from your house!! What a beautiful place to live!!
