    Another love of mine is art. I've been drawing practically my whole life. My favorite media is colored pencil. My favorite subject matter is of course flowers! Who would have thought, lol. Anyway here are a few of my latest illustrations. Hope you like...

    I agree with Frank that they could be book illustrations. I'm sure you'd get lots of people interested in buying them if you showed them around. You have a real talent for drawing Ginny. :-D

    I've seen some of these before, Ginny, and very much admired them. The ones I haven't seen are just as beautiful. You are a very talented lady.

    Thank you all so much for the compliments. I am glad you enjoyed them. I have two others in the works now also. I should really do one at a time but start one project before finishing another.

    Thanks so much. Stratsmom, no geraniums yet, but that is a good suggestion. After my daylily I will try a geranium.
