so pretty! I knew you would do a great job on this one when I saw what the theme was this week!

Beautiful work! I love all the textures and details. I found a 4 leaf clover once when I was a kid. I thought it would be easy to find another one and gave it away to a friend. I am yet to find another 4 leaf clover :/

I'm still looking for my four-leave clover. I hope she will find him. Again a great job. I like the expression on her face. Desperate searching for her lucky charm.

This is just lovely - and I do like the way you've put the elusive 4 leafed clover just out of her reach!!

Aaaahhhh! Good things come to those who wait! I knew it would be lovely when you were done! I love your shades of gray illustrations. You can really see the details and amount of work you put into every detail. Bravo, Kathy, it is always my pleasure! Thank you for your kindness and lovely thoughts.

Gorgeous-- as all your work is. I love the twist of it hiding for us to find. :)

A lovely wistful picture! Beautiful tones and perspective. One of my daughters found a four leaf clover a few years ago and I kept it, but I've looked thousand of times since and don't expect to see another one again!
