Butterfly in watercolor continues

Butterfly watercolor workings

Sadie sleeping at night.

Resting Sadie. (Wish I looked that good with a cone on my head.)
Hi, I've been working on my butterfly watercolor today. It takes a long time with all that detail but I do so love butterflies. I love painting,it's so soothing to me.

 Sadie,our puppy, slept well last night as you can see her in her crate! Ha ha.. she does get in strange positions even with the collar on and here is her resting now by my art table. The collar doesn't seem to bother her, and she's taking her antibotic for the infection of her stitches.

Glad we don't have to go to the vet today.I'm going to make some more coffee and get back to the butterfly. I saw one go by earlier. We have so many especially the Spicebush Swallow Tail (black ones) on my pink phlox. Sadie does love to leap,snatch the butterfly,and mash the flower on the way down. All happens in a second.. I should have taken photos earlier! ah well.. ha ha..  my love to  you,Diana

  3. Oh I've been admiring butterflies today at Chester Zoo - looking at all the different varieties of butterflies and moths native to the UK - I hadn't realised there were so many so it's lovely to come across your gorgeous butterfly painting here this evening!

  4. Hmm... to say that you wish you looked that good wearing a cone, suggests that you actually tried it on, haha!
    Poor Sadie - I reckon Sherlock would be really fed up wearing one of those! He also sleeps on his back like that - I reckon it's a Labrador thing :0)
    Your butterfly is beautiful! We have lots here too in this warm weather - and also huge, bright green and blue Dragon-Flies :0)

  5. My third oldest (second youngest) dog sleeps the same way. I've read that when they expose their bellies like this, they are super comfortable with you and their surroundings. It looks like she is smiling! The butterfly is coming along beautifully, Diana.
