Gladiolas
Like I said yesterday, Saturday’s paint-out was a bit flawed insofar as the weather forced us indoors, at least temporarily. And there, indoors, lovely flowers in large vases were waiting to get painted! I went for the gladiolas, and I
Pink flower time | Die Zeit der rosa Blumen
Two days ago incessant heavy rain prevented any painting outing whatsoever. I had reserved time in the day especially for that and was therefore quite disappointed. However, one of the blogs I read happened to feature a post on flower
