Flower watercolours for Mother's Day

Yesterday The Globe and Mail newspaper Style section
ran a column on what to give your mother for Mother's Day
(next Sunday) that wasn't the standard chocolates and flowers.
Their suggestions ran from shoes and purses, to floral pillows
to Espresso machines.  But what about art?

By the way this is also a great present for your wife, if
you give her Mother's Day presents, as I know my husband
does. (I do the same on Father's Day). Some people give their
aunts or a favorite person who has acted in lieu of a mother
a present too.  What a lovely gesture.

I have a great idea.  How about giving your mother art --
and more specifically one of the floral watercolour paintings
I am including here.  If she's allergic to flowers, but really
loves them -- one of these little paintings is the perfect
gift.  Email me at barbara.muir@sympatico.ca if you're
interested.  They are all $200 Canadian unframed, and
shipping is included.  What's more I will personally deliver
them -- gift wrapped in the GTA (Greater Toronto Area).
They are all 10 x 6 inches and will cheer up any wall,
guaranteed.
