What an extremely talented woman you are, Linda! I've been thinking of my mom(s) a lot in recent days. I had two... I'd love to be able to send flowers in tender pastel to them that way. I gasped when I saw the painting! My eyes are sparkling with a sudden welling. Simply exquisite soft touches from daughter to mother. There is no distance! ![]() Karen |

Linda, this brought so many tears. My Mom passed 3 years this past Friday, May 1, 2006. We didn't always see eye-to-eye but now that she's gone, I miss her terribly. Thank you for the tribute to your Mom. ooxx ________________________ |

The understated colours are just perfect for such a gift. Fuschia: so delicately touched. Yellow: so coy. Green: so subtley subdued. Blue: so gentle in hue |

Your flowers, dear Linda, are enchanting. I just couldn't stop absorbing their beauty and harmony. You did a wonderful aquarelle. Your Mom's soul will be blissed! And your words convey your heart's message so intensely. Awesome offering, sweet friend and artist. Love, Margherita ![]() ![]() |

So beautiful, Linda. I went to painting lessons once - enjoyed what I did when I did it but life took over and that was that. I know your mother knows of your lovely tribute to her. ![]() Helen |
