Art on the Farm Show and PIGLETS!

Me hanging my work at the show. John helped me so much!

A Gorgeous day !

Perennial Roots Kune Kune Piglet, they brought 2. They were adorable!
HI ! Wow, it was a lovely show. I sold 12 originals. I was so pleased to see everyone and thank everyone for their support.  I had a good time visiting the booths next to me. Perennial Roots www.perennialroots.com was near by and brought 2 little piglets. I naturally was talking to them and petting the pigs throughout the day.  I love animals. These I'll be painting more of, isn't that a sweet face. There were a lot of people there so I was busy all day. John and Clay came and broke me down and packed up for me. I'm still exhausted, but it was a very good time.

Clay is visiting this weekend. Here in the USA it's Memorial Day Weekend. I'm so glad he got to come home for a long weekend. He brought me my mothers day and birthday present-- a tablet. I've never had one before and it's so wonderful to have the men watching tv while I play on it. I'm still trying to get the hang of it. It's wonderful.

Sadie.our lab, has pulled a muscle in her leg, but she is doing ok, Cupcake, the kitty, is enjoying looking out the windows.

Have a wonderful weekend. Blessings and love to each of you,Diana

Painting an OWL in Watercolor

When I put in his chest feathers, it was such fun!

The beginning of Beauregard, the Barred Owl.
HI, This week I started Beauregard. Remember the owl I saw at Norfolk Botanical Garden, this is him. I actually got to pet his back, it was so very soft. Later I looked and he had put his head on his caretakers breast and fallen asleep. How adorable.. You know how much I love nature!!

Anyway, I sketched him first and have dry brushed and then dabbled water where I wanted the colors to bleed. This creates such a soft feather! I hope to work on him today. It's warm and sunny maybe I'll paint on the back porch again. I love being outside with the hummingbirds zooming thru the porch, now the baby Carolina Wren has left the nest in the eves over where I paint so no more visits from their family. We do have 2 new kittens which need homes.. both tuxedo cats. Sadie and Mama cat are having a feud, Sadie, our lab, wants to see and play, and Mama cat is protecting her babies..

Wishing you a happy weekend. Next weekend I have an art show. Barrier Island Center Art and Music on the Farm.  Love to each of  you. Diana
