Watering Can & Lattice Card

Does this picture remind you of a day in the garden, picking bouquets and planting bulbs? This is one of the more detailed cards I did. I painted the scene entirely from my imagination, except for copying the flowers from a bulb catalog. I forget now who the recipient was, but I often wish I’d have kept the card since I put so much work into it. That’s the only downside of painting cards, but then you can share them with someone else! I was beginning to understand why most cards are prints, and not original works, because of the extensive time factor involved.
