Purple Iris has found a home with a very nice lady

Purple Iris has found a home with a very nice lady who is also a lover of irises, like me. I'm so happy when my children find good homes 🙂

Sugar and Salt III Pastel and gesso on wooden boar

How strong we ladies can be. This is a picture of a female sugarcane cutter's hand.

Had a laugh this morning: I was approached by an elderly man -while going for a rare stroll in the suburb- asking me to help him push his car which had a flat battery. (He already also had another lady stroller cornered and waiting for the job) So we pushed him out of his drive and a bit down the road.
When I remarked on something slightly technical concerning his steering wheel, he said: "For a LADY...that is a very intelligent observation!"
It was too sweetly said for me to feel any resentment.😄 But boy, how times are changing.😜
...girl, how times are changing?

This little work is currently available from @johann_van_heerdens_art until 29 May as part of the "Illusion of reality" exhibition, curated by @elizabethtristram
