Gerbera Daisies and Tulips

A nudge to all peeps who love someone:

Bring them flowers!

Mitchell brings me flowers a lot, not a big bouquet, but a few lovely colors.

They cheer me, and the cheerfulness of flowers lasts for day.

When I paint them, they last forever as a sweet memory in my journals.

and…

I don’t often consider my pieces mixed media other than I draw in pen and ink, but this time I enjoyed playing with colored pencils on the tulip and Gerbera petals, shown in detail below.
