The DPW Challenge this week is to paint the view from a window, and I could hardly wait to do it! On my windowsill I currently have a couple cactus in bloom which are sharing the space with a light sensitive "dancing" plastic flower given to me by the grandchildren. This is my dining room window and the blossoms have a very nice view of the forest beyond with evergreens, nearly leafless maples, and some dried ferns up nearer the house. Thanks for the challenge.... this was fun!
