On the last day I got up at the crack of dawn, stopped at the local Dunkin' Donuts for a large cup of coffee and some Munchkins and headed over to the Hotel Studio, my "Surprise Bouquet", painting supplies and portable CD player in tow. I was on a mission. Jerry had sent a beautiful bouquet to my hotel room for our 3rd wedding anniversary on Wednesday. I knew I couldn't take it home with me, so I decided to do the next best thing! I had the place to myself, so I listened to my new age / native music and painted to my heart's content. I had fnished the painting by 8:30 when the other students began to wander in.

I gave the flowers to Tony and his lovely wife, Jan to take home in their car with them. They had also just celebrated their 3rd anniversary. They were thrilled with them and I was happy to have gotten so much milage out of them. Later that day, I had Tony look at my painting. He suggested I add the "cave art" background like I did on the other floral I did while I was there.
