philosophy 101

watercolor

"I saw then that here was a philosopher 
as well as a gardener - 
though I knew beforehand 
that all true gardeners became, 
sooner or later, 
philosophers."

    Wow, so shiny and three dimensional! I am in awe of the highlights. I've actually picked up some white acrylic paint, and a white prismacolor pencil AND a white gel pen to do some highlights on my stuff but I usually chicken out. Haha. ;D
