10"x 8" acrylic on watercolor paper, no frame or mat, in the FWCAC Show during December.Once upon a time…Don’t you love stories that begin with these lines? I do. I watched the DVD, “Miss Potter”, last night and read my worn copy of “The Tale of Peter Rabbit” from The Great Big Treasury of Beatrix Potter (with her original illustrations). As an elementary librarian, this best selling book was a favorite to share with children and is still a “jolly” good read. It’s partly cloudy this morning with scattered thunderstorms predicted – a little like Beatrix’s London? So why not title my recent painting “Once Upon a Time” – reminiscent of flowers gathered in the Hill Top garden? As artists we share Miss Potter’s love of watercolor and sketchbook journaling. The painting is an 8” x 10” acrylic on watercolor paper and maybe I should have included a little brass button by the vase. May your day include the delightful supper that Flopsy, Mopsy, and Cotton-tail shared - bread and milk and blackberries.
