We went out to the garden again, the Dad and me, and I bypassed all the other smells and sights to head for this big pink flowering thing. I wanted those flowers so badly! But I couldn’t reach them so I had to be happy with just studying them from “afar” (that means not close enough to bite, Dad says).

I liked those pink flowers so much I knew I’d have to paint a picture of them. So I did, just one though. The others I painted have more purple in them. This special one is mostly shades of pinks and soft green. Mom says the flowers out in the garden are rho-do-den-dron, but in remembering my sister Tessa’s flowers she received last month (and how tasty one of the pedals was), I’m calling the flowers in my painting pink roses instead. Don’t argue with the artist, Mom.

Whichever way, I’m not sure what I’ll do with my one special pink roses painting just yet, but my purple ones and my festive summer ones are ready to find their forever homes at my paint shop! And did you know the soon-to-be-open Pet Blogger Mall is having a sneak peek pre-opening for one day only on Wednesday, May 29th? My shop is there too with lots and lots of other artists and crafts people and we hope you’ll give us all a visit!
