Roadside Flower Truck


If you came upon this truck with all these flowers for sale, wouldn't you want to stop to buy a bouquet? Yes! Also, I'd love to be this farmer's neighbor!

Maybe it's a little Hallmark-movie-ish... 
Maybe it's a little too springtime-ish for the week before Thanksgiving...
But, it made me happy to work on it and it makes me happy to see it on the wall.

Do you know what I kept thinking while I was painting the truck?  Remember back when trucks and cars had bench seats, and you could slide across to sit right beside your guy?  Ha ha ha... what a funny thing to be reminded of. To be clear, no, I'm not old enough to remember riding around in a truck quite as old as this one. 😀

My Weekly-ish challenge was "Yellow."  Yellow is usually my most difficult color to work with. I think it worked out this time though.

Click Roadside Flower Truck if you'd like to purchase this pretty little painting.  In the meantime, I'm going to enjoy it on my own wall.

I've learned something from each lesson and from each teacher.

I Like... (11/24)

Thank you to Leeanne of Not Afraid of Color for reminding me to notice things I like. 

I like the discovering unexpected little creatures.
I'll let this little guy keep his pepper.

I like that my Buff Kitty is so patient with our little ones.
(Honestly, he must like it... despite his expression... He could get up and leave.)
I like visiting my sister and her crafting retreat.
Women can quilt, paint, scrapbook...
On this particular visit, our craft was to sit in the rocking chairs on the porch.
Welcome Home Retreat

I like looking up from the kitchen sink to see our forest friends passing through the yard.
I love this show!!!
(Amazon Prime or YouTube)
I like October. My driveway is just spectacular.
I like these little green frogs.
I've never seen them before this year.
I like seeing the trees in the yard across the driveway.  
I like these 6 tiny humans that call us Gram-E & Pop-E.
