Roses and Poppies 5/11:
My
roses are in full bloom now and my poppies are starting to bloom. I my

my camera. These photos were taken with my i-phone 7 plus - then they

Watercolor 5/6:
Four
days of a very successful workshop is over now. On Thursday,
night the NMWS Signature Group held a potluck dinner with our juror. It
was held in the room where signature members displayed paintings of
their choice. I choose to hang my watercolor "Street Vocal" in the
signature room. Then today, we held the opening reception for the
Spring Show - handing out awards and all. A lot of praise to all the
members who put in many, many hours of work to have everything run so
smothly.
