I recently made this “fun flower” watercolor painting inspired by a stamp I had seen for my BFF Jill’s birthday.
Jill loves bright colors, but is not a fan of cut flowers, because when you cut them, they die.
I thought a painting of brightly colored flowers that can’t die would be a fitting gift.
I am also thinking of another BFF today – my friend Bubby, whose father recently passed away and whose funeral we attended this week. And then I learned of another BFF – my longest time, dearest friend, Janet, whose Dad was hospitalized yesterday.
I hope these flowers will cheer them for even a moment in their time of grief and worry.
May these flowers brighten your day in some small way.
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi
the creative life in between 
Indeed a bright spot for the morning, sending cheer to all who need it. (K)
