feng_shui_houseEDIT: Finished another design. Watercolor takes FOREVER. At least for me. :^)

The customer who wanted Amaryllis without butterflies liked the second version, so I'm going to work on making up new designs to fill a collection.
I needed a break anyway-cut and bagged up the last of the bougainvillea- another 6 (42 gallon heavy construction) bags full and have a big pile sitting hidden next to bushes. Body is kinda worn down. ;^) Art will be a nice break.
Todays so far, a totally silly cartoony pigeon and cat.

HAH! I just went out for a quick check of the yard- TWO of my seven pineapple plants are trying to bloom. And one of them is the oldest one, which is in a really lousy place, but still had managed to produce fruit twice (admittedly both were small- the second was the size of a real apple). I recently read a wikihow on growing pineapple that says they can only produce one fruit and then they die. My pineapple doesn't read wikihow, I guess. GO PINEAPPLES! YAY. I'm looking forward to this- the flowers should be lovely.

Sorry for poor typings, left hand is in cast following arthriris surgery.

Date: 2017-01-15 10:06 pm (UTC)I just went out to take a break from art, by raking up the bits from the cuttings and discovered that two pineapple salvia have survived! Yay. I had a whole bed of them a few years ago, but the bougainvillea shaded them to death. These must have sprouted from a few seeds when I started cutting it back a few months ago.
I'm sorry about your ow. I hope you recover from the surgery soon. *huggles*
