This is the first painting I've completed in a series of botanical watercolors I plan on painting this summer. (Thanks to my mother for the fabulous suggestion). My goal is 12. But like anything, it's one step, one stroke, one leaf at a time. I hope to put prints of these on ETSY soon. Perhaps tonight once the little one sleeps.

Today is a perfect day for painting -- a summer thunderstorm and showers. My flowers love it! Rainy days don't always seem pleasant, like rainy times in life. But, oh how important they are to the growth of a flower.
