My friend, Ibby Greer, is an author and artist whose canvas is sometimes unusual. She grows and paints  gourds, calling the end result "Gourdfriends." I am happy to own three of her little works of art and they are simply delightful.

The picture above is a wonderful little grouping that resemble Russian nesting dolls. They are bright and cheery and I just love them.

I have had a lot of Russian visitors to my little blog recently and I do hope you like the picture, come back and comment, if you would like to leave a message.

Ibby, thank you for your talent! You are a "Gourd-diva!"
