Yesterday

I'm usually better once we get outside and plant flowers and such. But so much rain prevents us yet.

The best picture I've painted and am so proud of was accepted in a local art show. I had never painted a portrait bu somehow with the direction of painting friend in India she told me what to mix and do.

Still look at it and can't believe I did it.
