Lavender Bouquet, Original Watercolor, 10 x14, Marcia Carole
I am working away at a second lavender card idea. It is totally different than yesterday’s painting! I thought I’d give the gift shop owner options when I finally bring the cards over. Hopefully, I can work on the blossoms tomorrow.
I took a lovely walk today, with my bird-loving friend, Judy. We soldiered on to the rose and the wet sheep in the drizzly rain. As we talked, Judy mentioned a new recipe that she found to replace her favorite tuna sandwich since she is now basically vegan. I was so excited; I came home and made it for lunch and finished it for dinner! Bon Appetit!
