Default Gracie's artistic talent
Here is a watercolor Graciegirl did of our golden retriever, Crosby. She's only spent a couple of hours with him, took a picture of him and nailed him! And it was her first foray into watercolors.

I might be a bit prejudiced, but what a fabulous artist she is!

You go, Gracie! Great work......it's so encouraging to see people building on or developing new talents in their retired years. The Villages seems like it offers so many opportunities to do just that. One of the many reasons I hope to retire there some day soon! Thanks for sharing, CFrance!
