Because when I glaze I get to heavy handed and usually get "muddy." To me, florals and watercolor are a match made in heaven. They complete each other. And the amazing thing... we both created a watercolor piece around the same time! Beautiful work, Leslie.

Again, another card that could easily be framed!! Looks like you got your creativeness back, mine has slightly started in again...and just to kick start me, I did a little shopping here and there, I think it did the trick (because I didn't have much right?)
