    Thanks for the encouragement Wendy, Vern and Liz. Since I am still learning the in and outs of the new platform I managed to delete Liz’s comment when I intended to respond. I don’t know that I consider myself dedicated. I think that I have trouble visualizing an entire composition so I go for the parts. Hence I have that sprig of hawthorne with the berries and the terrifying thorns. And now the amaryllis. Right now I have a really cute one with red at the edge of each petal. But it’s small and would not look right with the bud that I have drawn which was from another variety. If the warm weather continues I may have blossoms on the hawthorne tree to work with. Currently I am finding a remodel of out master bath visually terrifying. I have decided to stop looking at the different pieces going in. Since it’s not a one hour HGTV job the end product is too far away for me to be comfortable with the view. Sometimes getting a drawing far enough along that I’m comfortable with it is disconcerting too.
