I’ve always felt that having a garden
is like having a good and loyal friend.

Gardening is learning, learning, learning.
That’s the fun of them. You’re always learning.

This one was a lot of fun. The background and table are acrylic, the bloom and vase are watercolor. There is a lot of grainy texture in the vase a benefit of the Arches. Very nice.
I used strips of paper to mask off the petals while I splattered the center. As you can plainly see, it didn’t work as well as I hoped. But it’s a happy accident. I had fist applied dots to the center using a metal embossing tool in different sizes. I felt it still needed more, and splattering would make them uneven and more organic.
We had a blissful day of snow! It snowed most of the day Wednesday, and was even a bit blustery for a while. YAY! One report said we had 2.5 inches. Could be. Mingus had more. It was covered in a white wall of clouds much of the day. The roads stayed clear. Forecast says the next five days will be sunny and warmer. Sigh.
