I Was Lost But Now I'm Found

This was painted last year during the Lavender festival, put away and forgotten until this year's lavender show.  I spent weeks looking through stacks of old paintings but it didn't turn up. I could see myself accidentally tossing it. I found an alternate, less than ideal painting that fit the requirements and went with that. The upshot was  two watercolors  were juried in and my alternate choice won the second place ribbon! I still like this lost and found painting but I don't think it would have impressed the judge as much as the other.... but you just never know!

  5. Marcia, the show is already down. BTW, Do you remember you were painting just to my right as I was finishing this? And then the two big St Bernards came to visit.
