Comment: l love, love, love the diptych! Beautiful work. I found a great spot to display it! Your watercolors are so well done - I have a love/hate relationship with watercolors myself; they seem like such an unforgiving medium -- make a mistake and you are toast, no fixing it! You obviously are really great at it -- thank you so much!! I really loved the extras and the decorated envelope too - you made my day!
