chocolate is always good

Before driving out to the farm one day last week, our daughter called to ask if we needed anything from the store. I replied “chocolate is always good!” — so she brought a large bag of these.

I thought I’d try out some metallic watercolors that came in my gansai set, to pant the shiny wrappers. Not really much shine or sparkle, and even less in a photograph of the sketch. But it’s fun to play.

Having just finished reading the Hamish Macbeth mystery series (as ebooks checked out online from a Houston library), this quote of Hamish’s as he interviewed a wee child seemed fitting.

(After posting this here, Facebook and Instagram, I realized that I forgot to paint the red stripe on the piece in front. Oops!)
