Here’s an early watercolor I made of my favorite sea shell, the one that Walter gave me. I set it in my father’s garden with the petunias and painted it from life — many, many years ago. The two curved shapes in the foreground are border stones. Notice the marigold impersonating a dandelion. (I know it’s not a dandelion. My father wouldn’t have permitted it!)
