Happy Birthday Sherrill!

May 20th would have been my mother-in-law's 72nd birthday.  In her honor, my husband and I spent the day with his father and brother (+ wife & son) planting flowers in her honor.  To commemorate the day, I painted her name and the date on the side of the planter and the result of all our combined work is below.

We miss you Sherrill!!

The above drawings were done as the final project for 'Drawing Plants in Perspective' at Filoli.  I also decided to take the opportunity to practice my italic hand!
