Her Teacher Says She is Very Good!!

Gerry has always had an artist's eye. As we drive down the road, I will see roadsides that are brown or green and she will pick out and name the flowers in the ditches. Her garden (in a neighborhood of good gardeners) always has admirers stopping to ask what this is or that might be. Her gardens blossom with color and variety. Her ability to create with her hands is amazing.

For years, she has wanted to paint and this year has taken classes to learn to do so. Her teacher says she is very good. (We had dinner with them tonight.)

VLM asked me to post Gerry's pictures. I apologize for the poor presentation. I placed them on the table and took photos to do the posting. We will frame both of these pictures.

This is a water color she did earlier this year.

Anyone who has travelled with us to Palm Desert will know that this 2nd painting is a favorite scene of mine. The photos that inspired this water color piece are taken just inside the gates of Marriott Desert Springs Villas. (I think it is supposed to be a Father's Day gift, but I am showing it to you early.)

We are impressed with our In House Artist Laureate.
