Amid the Poppies

Another birthday gift for my dear friend ​ (so many May babies!!) of her departed beloved dog Jesse. I never met Jesse but it always brought me warm feelings when she talked of her and made her more alive and real in my eyes. I suppose that is the best way to keep a memory of someone you love alive, by gifting that memory of them to someone else.  Thank you for sharing Jesse with me dearest Nicole!

Nicole also visited recently and espoused the wonder and beauty of working with watercolors. It is much thanks to her tutelage and inspiration that have continued working with watercolors.  Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom, experience, and enthusiasm with me Nicole!

Watercolors on Arches hot press watercolor paper. about 5x5″.
