HI, well, yesterday late in the day, I finished my "Sunflowers and Gran's Watering Pot". This watercolor will be in my show at The Red Queen Gallery. Gertraude Fendler,a wonderful photographer and I will be the 2 woman show on 2nd Friday in June. The Red Queen is on Main St. in Onancock,Va. It's a lovely gallery.
So today I started my peony painting. I've started negative painting around a light pink one and it will have 2 burgundy peonies with a hummingbird.The painting is still developing.It might have another peony? I was sitting on the back porch painting today.Daisy and Rudy-our 15 year old kitty-were with me. The hummingbirds were zooming in and out.
We've had some rain which we desperately needed and more is expected tonight.I'm trying to get ready for the show on Sunday at the Ashby Garden in Belle Haven. This will be from 2pm-5pm and they still want artists to call and come display their work! take care and talk to you soon, Diana
The peonies and sunflowers look lovely, Diana. Thanks for the info about the Red Queen June Gallery show. We went to the May show last weekend. Also glad to read your post and know it rained back home as we are in NC this week.
ReplyDeleteOK, I am pretty sure this one will be my new favorite! Such pretty colors already and flowing....
ReplyDeleteYou have inspired me, I think I will skip my morning chores and go paint instead...(don't tell!)
Love the sunflowers, and esp. in awe of how you tie them in w/the background! (I planted some seeds and--so far--the squirrels have not found them, as they usually do!)
ReplyDeleteI have 3 peony bushes, and hope I get more than 1 flower this year--I covet them, but find them so hard to paint!
Diana, leave it to you to be the very first to comment on my new website, Thank you ever so much. It will be added to and evolve over time..Best of luck on your show and how I wish I lived near enough to be there. BJ
ReplyDeleteI love the peonies and the sunflowers. Good luck at the Art Show.
ReplyDeleteThank you Beatrice, sounds like you are having a great time on your trip, I'm so glad.Maria, thank you, for saying that that is one of the best compliments to think I inspired someone. Thanks Laura, Glad you liked the blue, I changed it up by doing that. I don't have any sunflowers or peonies, we have too much shade.. Barbra Joan, wish you could come too!
