PETALS is the inspiration site for today. I chose this photo as inspiration to create an anniversary card for friends who have been married over 50 years.

FANTASTIC anniversary card, they are going to LOVE it!!! I love how you've kept the matting very streamlined, so that the focal image just shines, so effective!!! LOVE!

just another example of your wonderful watercolouring talents...love the look, the shadows are so well done...great card mf and sure it will be very appreciated. It is quite an achievement to be married that long in this day and age. My hubbies parents are into their 67th year being married, not many can say that!

The realism you achieve with fantastic shading is outstanding, Sallie. Hard to do with any medium, but with watercolor? Should be almost impossible (for me, anyway ), but you never fail to achieve. This is incredible!

Wow can you paint! The shading is impeccable, Sallie! Love the shades of green in your artwork. The distressing is so perfect for this beautiful piece! Those cacti look real!
