So lovely Harriet! Quick story for you. I painted the tulips from your book on a bookmark a few months back. The following Saturday a woman stopped by our beach home and asked if she could see the house once again because she’d grown up in it, and sadly was dying from cancer. She cried on and off during our little tour and when we entered my studio I handed her a pile of bookmarks and said pick one. She picked the tulips saying she always loved tulips. I never felt so good about a little watercolor painting in my life. Just wanted you to know you had a part in bringing joy to this beautiful woman Dena. Blessings to you!

Harriet! It is lovely. You do make it look easy, but I will give it a go. I love the little detail at the end, makes the tulips look very dimensional. Thank you!!

For economy of execution, and degree of final effect, this project has to be near the top of the list of best projects ever! Thank you for a lovely idea, that one can easily do. 😀 👏👏👏

Maybe super quick but still super beautiful, Harriet! Those finishing strokes did indeed give the tulips and jug lovely depth.

OMG Mrs H! Yours & Ant's work means so much too so many. You give something to those who have nothing..You teach people how to grown gardens and create peaceful places they my not can ever go. You teach and show beautiful flowers and leaves to ones who may never get to see. You are needed and loved <3 <3 <3
