    1. I hope so too but Daily Paintworks usually raises a lot for all the tragic events.
      Was pleased to see your beautiful grape painting finished.

    1. Yes - I am too and they always manage to raise a lot of money for whatever they pick up the banner for. Proud to belong.
      Your cherry in the martini glass is a lovely painting and know it will raise a lot.

  12. Dear Julie, brilliant still life with roses that look freshly picked.
    Have a nice week, in your warm earth.
    Here we have snow on the Alps and on the Apennines. The only good thing that mosquitoes are few and are still not aggressive ...

    1. Hi Rita - what a fabulous job you did with the Yupo.
      We only have mosquitos near the farmlands at the moment but when the monsoons start in July we get them then. Can you believe we have only had half an inch of rain this year?
