Description Practicing my watercolors. There's just something so pleasing about seeing the colors blend and shape together.

I was reminded the other day of when I was little, and would waltz around for hours in the front yard; watering the weeds, gathering them in bouquets, sticking them in water bottles, and leaving them all over the house. I have a special memory of doing this one April Sunday, and seeing a family of wild ducks, walking along single file, with the little yellow ones at the end, just like in a picture book.

This reminds me of Holly Hobby with her bonnet where you don't see her face but she would wear these types of cloths.

Good catch, it was definitely Holly Hobby inspired.

I use to have a Holly Hobby board game that I loved. I was a major tom boy growing up and even though she wore dresses, I liked what she wore and she liked nature like I do.

Thank you so much! Part of this was inspired by the old illustrations of the "Little Golden Books."
