Good Morning to all my blog friends and followers I hope that you have all had a great weekend doing some lovely things. I've just about got all the catching up done since getting home and its pretty much back to normal. Its been hard after such a great holiday to get back to doing the normal everyday things and its cold!!.
So onto my post today. Its a commission I was given from a friend for a 60th birthday card. I decided to use LOTV Time Flies for my image but really pushed myself to use a different colour scheme As I always go to the lavenders and blues first when I paint this image. See what you think.
