    Dear karen , i love this and am going to try your techniques for sure. What i love about you karen is that whenever i tune in to watch one of your tutorials is that you always give easy to understand tips and techniques and you sound so passionate about helping us all , it's priceless. Its great the way you show us how to build up the scene with tonal values, lights , darks , details 😊You are a wonderful teacher . You always make us feel at ease and you are all about helping us to improve our painting 👍I think i try too hard and rush to get it all on the paper first but you have showed us to relax and layer up and most of all have fun 😊

    Now if someone pots a Queen Anne's Lace Plant into a pot as a model to paint, remember it is the host plant for A black Eastern Swallow Tail Butterfly! If you keep it on your porch a butterfuly will likely lay an egg or two and you'll get to observe the Eggs hatch, the caterpillars eat the plant and then become a Chrysalis, then into a butterfly! I raise Monarch's -- can you tell, LOL Wonderful Lesson; thanks again!

    @@maryannegunter115 God bless you for providing nectar for all pollinators; I meant to plant Zinnias those this year but I forgot They are beautiful! ! This has been a terrible year Weather-wise, a late frost threw off the timing of blooming flowers, and there has been a terrible drought. I'm sorry to say that I have seen ONE Monarch Butterfly, and colleted only three Caterpillars -- I should have at least 300 by now. I think the Great Migration may collapse this year. Say a Prayer for them, and for US - for they are the canary in the Coal Mine!
