Heart with flowers for a friend

Heart with Flowers.


 This is a quick watercolor painting with marker.  I am painting something for a friend who just had a heart transplant.  She picked this design from a tattoo she wants to get.  This is just a study of a painting I will do in the future.

Thanks for reading.
