New Orchid Watercolor, Sadie sleeping, and Cupcake!

Orchid Watercolor. This is the one I started at The Eastville Inn Art Opening.

I got Sadie to nap after we played ball outside in the frosty weather.

Here is Cupcake. She is a talker and very sweet.

HI Everyone, I've been painting this afternoon. I've gotten out my orchid watercolor and finished it. I need to erase the pencil marks and frame it.  I took the photo at the Tropical House in Norfolk Botanical Garden.

 They are having a gorgeous orchid display and it's free to go into the garden for 2 weeks.. so go if you are nearby.

Sadie finally got tired after we played a lot of ball in the backyard. It's cold outside, I had 2 coats , gloves, and 2 scarves, to keep me warm. I looked like a walking balloon.

  Here is our Cupcake. She is much prettier than this. The photo is blurry.. but the markings on her face are lovely. Ok I did say she was the ugliest kitten I had ever seen ..but she isn't.

Hope you are staying warm. I'm going to go make some Christmas Decaf Starbucks. Talk to you soon. Love to you,Diana

Merry Christmas and Love to Each of you!!!

Sadie, waiting for Christmas by our tree.

The painting I was working on at The Eastville Inn. The orchids are from NBG.

HI Everyone, Wishing each of you a Blessed Christmas and Holiday!! and a safe and Happy New Year.

I've got the turkey cooking in the oven. Cupcake, our new kitty, and Sadie, my Lab are enjoying chasing each other. The tree is lit and a pot of coffee on. Family is coming. We are blessed. Talk to you soon!
 Love  to each of you,Diana

Newest Blue Crab Watercolor in the Works and THE Eastville Inn Opening~!

My newest blue crab, I've been working on this week.

HI~ I did a little drizzle of water and then color in the background and drew the crab after this was dry. I've still got to add a few more legs and finish him. It's been fun.

I just walked Sadie, our lab, around the backyard. She wandered into the woods but thank goodness did not bring me anything today(yesterday it was a smelly treasure ugh) and she came back pretty quickly.

I then walked into the nursery across the street but it was so cold I didn't dilly dally as my grandmother used to say. I was moving faster than usual. Picked up a few Ginko leaves and came home, there was a pine branch in the driveway so I''ll put that in the living room somewhere for the lovely smell.

I made chocolate chip cookies this morning but did them in bars. Funny they don't seem to taste as good. Ha.  What have you been doing today?? love to you,Diana

PS> Don't forget Come to The Eastville Inn tomorrow night, Dec. 20 anytime from 6-8pm I will be showing my work in this gorgeous restaurant.  Hope to see you if you are nearby. Thank you!!!
