Paint on a smile.
1 GoodGymer made their way to help an isolated older person in Portsmouth.
- Saturday, 19th of August 2023
This was my first visit to Mrs J in a few weeks as I was away on holiday but I was pleased to see that my postcard from Canada had arrived safely.
I brought her a couple of souvenirs including a red rock from the gulf of St Lawrence and a wonderfully soft teddy bear. She enjoyed hearing about my adventures visiting family, driving a convertible, wearing pink lipstick to the Barbie movie, and swimming with wild seals.
We listened to some of Mrs. J’s favourite songs by Elvis, Englebert, and the late, great Tony while I painted her a bouquet of her favourite flowers. She has a beautiful decorative poppies plate that I used for inspiration. Hopefully my watercolour will last even longer than the real thing!
