Love that Lace WIP -part 2 and news

I have worked a bit more on the lace portion of this painting. I think I am trying to postpone the moment when I have to put some red paint on those tomatoes:-)
However, I soon will have a lot more time for painting....Here is my big news: I announced at work today that I was going to resign and retire as of 30th November... On Dec 1st, I can become a full-time watercolor artist:-)

    Fantastic - you will never look back and every moment will be fun spent thinking, planning and creating your wonderful artwork. As for the lacework there is only one word 'stunning'.

    Christiane...congratulations!!! You'll never know how in the world you had time to work and do everything else you love. And, just think of all the painting you'll do. Remember...red is good...so just jump in there.

    Thank you, Mollie! I can't wait to have time to paint without feeling guilty. As for the red, I wish you were here to put it in for me...you are so good at it!

    Thank you, Vicki. I had not planned on retiring for another 2-4 years, but I simply could not see myself accepting the position that I was being offered as a result of a massive reorganization in my department. If in six months from now I need the money or am bored, I will look for something else...Somehow, I don`t think that I will be bored:-)
