"George's Girl"
10" x 12", watercolor and Prismacolor pencil
"Look closely at this pink poinsettia to see the
veining lines that are etched into the paper while
the paint is still wet.  I had so much fun with
this little painting, which was originally
intended to be our 2002 Christmas card design.  
The festive background was laid in with a wet on
wet technique.

While working at Dell's Nursery, I met dozens of
interesting people who worked in the industry.  
One of the nicest was George from Decorative
Plants Sales in Brentwood.  I loved to see his van
pull into the parking lot, you never knew what
treasures he was offering that day!  This
poinsettia was one that he grew in his
greenhouses."
