Country Gums



                                                       I have just made these watercolour cards
                                                                                      to send to a Uk friend of my sister.
                                                                                     I hope they add to her memories of her recent visit
                                                                                    Each card is painted on watercolour paper and comes
                                                                                    with note paper and envelope enclosed in cellophane bag.

"Red Rock Beach" Watercolour

 
                                                     A recent trip south and we called in to see Red Rock,
                                                     having driven past the sign so many times we just had to see for
                                                     ourselves. It was such a perfect day for all  the holiday makers
                                                     (who are just off to the left!)
