Portrait Art . . . and My story

I used Prismacolor Pencils, ink and pastels.  The dog has a yellow house too.  This is an ACEO.

 We all have a story to tell. . .

I like to sit outside on the Patio on a beautiful, peaceful morning, have coffee, write in my journal and listen to the fountain, the birds and watch the squirrels I have just fed. My girlfriend, Phyllis, in FL sent me flowers (memories).  We have been friends for so many years I can't count. Her husband is amazing. . and so are her friends.  She has great parties and great friends.  I miss her so much.

 Gorgeous bouquet and lasted a long time.

 My table is set.  It was a very peaceful time for me.

 I have another girlfriend since 3rd grade. . .yep all this time we have shared our fun, our happiness and our troubles. . .we email daily. She lives on the east coast so I don't see her often either, but we do keep in touch regularly.  This was her gift to me . . . the Spring doesn't last and summers are so hot here, so I am unable to be outside, the winters are horrendous and the table and chairs are up against the back wall till next Spring.

Blessings,
Janet
