I'm so very sorry . I had 2 foot surgeries this year. First a Bunionectomy which actually made my foot worse, then surgery to correct the first surgery, a toe fusion which I am healing from now. I know what has this got to do with my art, well, just about everything. I haven't been able to do my art shows, missed a few classes to teach and learned to Paint in the recliner. We moved last year too, so now we are on the water and not in my little forest. A beautiful place but I do miss the inspiration of wandering around the woods. My Dad just died 2 weeks ago. I miss him so much. So as you can see I'm still painting but have had a lot going on. I just wanted to catch you up and say keep painting and drawing I am.

I just thought I'd put a snuggly photo on. Right now she is in my lap. My foot is slowly getting better and I do mean slllooowlly. It is exasperating. I teach next weekend, John won't be going with me to Norfolk so I will have to do all the hauling and walking myself. I hope I can do it. I 've sold 3 paintings this week. Mostly little bird paintings, one thru a gallery this is good, I am tickled. I have been painting birds lately. I hope you all are doing well and each of you has a Happy healthy new year.

I have been doing A Chicken a day Series. This is a painting of a chicken each day for awhile and selling them for the bargain price of $68. 5x7 matted to 8x10 and shipping included. I am thankful to say they are selling well. It takes me the better part of a day to Paint one, the one above is True Love. Whimsical and fun.<br />

Female cardinal comes to my kitchen window and tells me to fill up my birdfeeder. To me she is more beautiful than her mate. I love the soft colors. This painting is 8x10 and $115 plus tax.

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Hi Everyone , this is my watercolor CLASS at Norfolk Botanical Garden. Owls, we had live owls from Nature'sNanny, it was amazing. After a few warm up techniques the owls came in and we all took tons of photos and sketched them and pained them from life. I was in awe of these amazing owls and all the students did a great job painting them. Here is my painting from that day. Demo. I love nature. Love to you, Diana</td></tr>

Hi, I painted most of today . I really love the little birds that come to visit our feeders. The Carolina Wren is so mischievous it is one of my favorites . Went with Sadie on our path into the forest to gather leaves. Sadie takes a toy outside when we go out. I usually have my coffee cup. I get the feeling she thinks that is my toy. 😄 happy autumn. Love , Diana and Sadie</div>

First I did a pour then drew my butterfly. Started the wings and picked some wild honeysuckle from the backyard. Drew that then painted around it in the colors of the pour. I love negative painting. This has taken some time as my sciatica is acting up l have more to do on it as you can see. I am getting better still resting though. Teaching this Saturday.
