Happy Geranium,still life,watercolor,11x14,price$150

I was teaching a watercolor class about 20 years ago. I couldn't fine an expensive rigger brush that I had just bought the week before. One of the students had accidentally taken it home. She held it up to me and asked if this was the brush. It was covered in Masking glue and was one solid thing. So of no use any more. After that I put bright yellow tape around the bottom of each brush of mine and told the class they might want to mark their own supplies. Oh well, only money.
