It's Pat's birthday today. So I ran out a few days ago to our favorite nursery, and bought a gift certificate. Pat LOVES gardening. And it's always so much fun watching her come home with a car-load of plants. Then all spring and summer, we enjoy the beauty of the garden - sounds a bit sappy, but it's gorgeous. Of course, I'm out there for hours, sketching and taking photos as long as there are flowers for "models". I was just going to give her the gift certificate, but did a decent sketch last night, put it on watercolor paper, and painted the background. I worked on the goose quickly this morning, and will finish it this evening after work. |
