It has always been a traditional mother's day gift as well. I love the addition of the clock...it adds a note of nostalgia as well as being interesting.Catherine Jeffreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05461798205529014264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1499925084447405124.post-75893338959453623432011-04-20T18:25:17.595-07:002011-04-20T18:25:17.595-07:00Wow!

This painting business keeps us humble! Virginia, I used mostly a #8 Silver Brush Co. "bristlon". I love those brushes. When I use a brush that feels a bit too big I get better results, and tend to leave my strokes alone. Thanks for asking. Paint on, girlfriend!!!Karen Wernerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09219465750662732796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1499925084447405124.post-19767906170813986682011-04-19T21:03:05.362-07:002011-04-19T21:03:05.362-07:00I love the application of color in the geraniums, ...I love the application of color in the geraniums, the brushwork has captured form, and the clock seems to anchor the balance.

The values and colors in the blooms are gorgeous. <br /><br />I have to admonish myself to compare myself to where I started, not compare myself to you. Sigh. <br /><br />I'm curious as to the type and size brush you use.
