Today I received a lovely, meaningful gift from my friend Nan. It's a frame with two of Mardelle's pictures in it. Mardelle was a very gifted artist, teacher and musician. I met her in April of of '14, and started taking watercolour lessons from in October of that year. She also invited me to join the Sun City Chamber Orchestra, to which I still belong. We were becoming good friends and I liked her immensely.
It was a great grief to me that she died suddenly that November. I wrote a memorial to her on this blog on November 12, '14.
Later her husband had a sale of much of her art equipment. My friend Nan helped set up the sale. I was blessed to be given an unframed watercolour of daisies that Mardelle had painted. Nan is going to help me mat and frame that watercolour.
We have a perfect place for that picture Nan gave me today:

I think it looks great here, and it's where I will see it several times a day. Many thanks, Nan!
