Nov to Patty

OK. Yesterday was not the last of the Nov envelopes. Today is the last one. I've done some stacking and layering of all the letters in names. There are a gazillion ways to do that. Some of them I like a lot. This one isn't spectacular. Usually gold gouache is jazzy enough to compensate for any weaknesses - but not this time. It's a little wimpy. It probably looked better in real life.

Patty and I took a field trip to the place you go if you want the best quality prints of your artwork. She had a nice stack of watercolors. She also had a painting on a canvas that someone had admired and she was considering making a print of it. The company can print on canvas and you can have it stretched onto stretchers. It's very cool and I had it done one time - because my MrWilson wanted a large piece of art for his office and the high school art teacher had called me to pick up a piece my son had done. It was the end of the year and she knew I would love it and she also knew that my son would never follow through with her request to take it home. I was soooo grateful that she had the foresight to call me.

I suggested to Patty that she just make another painting. She agreed that it made more sense to do another version of the painting - and even thought of things that she'd do differently. I'll be curious to find out if she actually does make a second painting.
