This is a Watercolour done with very fine brushes; the poem written around it by Eleanor.
OTTER And the river sings softly As you slip away silently A ripple of bubbles A watery essence A treasured memory.
Eleanor was inspired by the wonderful diversity of the wildflowers that grew in Devon and started painting these together with some of the butterflies and insects she observed with them. Her paintings were soon produced as greetings cards by several well-known card companies and Eleanor also exhibited her original watercolours at local Art Society exhibitions, craft fairs etc.
