Piddling with watercolor paint.
Relaxing. Trying to figure out a wallpaper pattern
 coupled with lots of little flowers - plus fracturing!

  5. Love your pattern in this one. Charming painting and reminds me of my great grandmother who kept violets in her window sill garden. Awe.

  6. This is a gem, Julie. Love the patterns in the background that add so much but don't take over and the rich spectrum of green in the leaves. An endearing, delightful painting!

  9. How I love your piddling - is that a lot like puttering (LOL)? My grandma always grew the most gorgeous African violets - she just knew what to do to get them to bloom. I have one under my kitchen light and it hasn't bloomed in years...wonderful green leaves but no blooms (maybe it needs me to feed it (: !!)
