Very Lovely 1866 Naive Watercolor Flowers with Decorated Border on Laid animal blocks so many stories--and so many

so many stories--and so many years

with a bit of loss along the top edge of the shell

which to my eye are all to the good

Good just propped in a window

Very Lovely 1866 Naive Watercolor Flowers with Decorated Border on Laid animal blocks so many stories--and so manyJust my sort of watercolor, very naive, very charming, and to my eye just transcendently lovely. With what appear to be three different sorts of blooms emanating from the roundish pink form near center the one at top right seeming to me a bit like a bird or a bee seeking nectar! And with two perimeters of hatch marks creating a frame around it, in a manner similar to early handmade rewards of merit, which perhaps it was made to be. On reverse: Sue
