Makes it all the more enjoyable.<br /><br />Thanks for your comments on my watercolors and good luck with your own. I've found that persistence and a time limitation of 15-30 minutes have really been helpful for me. I think with such a short time limit you don't worry about whether it's good or bad. You just do it and then see what you think afterward.Ken Januskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16984782169460110520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3618025896103645633.post-39009886708057815622010-01-31T14:13:30.916-05:002010-01-31T14:13:30.916-05:00Hi Ken

Working from life is certainly paying off. I'm trying to set myself goals to do the same. <br /><br />Amanda(-:Chattershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04403977539309048486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3618025896103645633.post-14708814458040442222010-01-28T22:32:40.451-05:002010-01-28T22:32:40.451-05:00Hi Pam,

But I guess that's why it's called dracaena 'fragans.' I was driving myself nuts trying to figure out just where it was coming from. I turned on our air cleaner each day for 8 hours and it didn't make a dent in the smell. I was absolutely shocked when I happened to look at the 7-8 foot plant today and see the large flower right at eye level!<br /><br />Glad you like the are as well. It's nice to finally be getting comfortable with watercolor.Ken Januskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16984782169460110520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3618025896103645633.post-14319061282569961912010-01-28T15:47:06.733-05:002010-01-28T15:47:06.733-05:00Great story :) I love your greens and leaf shapes...Great story :) I love your greens and leaf shapes.Pam Johnson Brickellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07927455773097702525noreply@blogger.com
