Paint and Petals

Check out my Paint and Petals bandana.

I am loving my new Paint and Petals bandana. I started buying Paint and Petals products about 2 months ago. I saw their products at Raley’s and I bought a plate, a little bowl, a purse, notebooks, and wrapping paper. Today Daylon, bought me a Paint and Petals bandana and I have decided that perhaps I would like to create floral paintings and then turn them into cool bag designs or even a cool bandana. I could also paint right onto a canvas bag and sell those kinds of products.

I really like painting and art and then turning things into digital art. It would really be cool to turn my art into objects that people could then buy. Art has always been my passion and the flowers here in Red Bluff and in my garden have inspired me lots lately. I have been taking so many cool photos because we have so many cool flowers.

Idioms are expressions. They are often used by English speakers and are understood by most English speakers. It is different from its literal meaning. They are figurative expressions. Here are examples of color idioms.
