In an attempt to refine my Regency “lady skills,” last spring I purchased water color pencils. I had not picked them up for a year and yesterday and today I just enjoyed the solitude of drawing and painting. I love the soft lines of the fashion plates depicting Regency fashions so I found one with simple lines and copied it as best I could. The husband says he admires my lady-like skills.
