Peanut Butter Sandwich , Squirrel, Another Butterfly Watercolor!


HI ! I know ,I've painted another butterfly. On to something else I promise! This one I had started in class-- but had to finish. For me it's like eating popcorn-one more piece.. keep painting--just keep painting..unfortunately.I don't feel the same for cleaning. :)

 I've got family coming this weekend, my son and his girlfriend. My sister is coming for the day tomorrow and I have a class which I'm looking forward to teaching at Norfolk Botanical Gardens on Saturday. I've made a fresh apple cake, the dishes are soaking, I should clean,well maybe.. or I could paint something else.. 

Oh, the squirrel photo, I know you are wondering. I was sitting on the porch yesterday,holding my brush. I was painting tomatoes,pausing because I was too tired from shopping. A small squirrel came and got in the bird feeder. I felt sorry for him. The dear didn't have a thing in there.  I came inside, made a peanut butter sandwich,  broke it up for him and put it in the feeder. He  ate his sandwich as I sipped my coffee. It was so cute.

so.. I guess I'll go paint. You knew it didn't you! ha ha.. I will clean a little.. talk to you soon, Diana

    I know what I'd be doing, if it was a choice between painting and housework. :) Diana, I am so glad you gave the little chap some food, but now he'll probably be knocking on your door, asking for more!

    Diana - housework will always wait - painting feeds your soul - so glad you fixed that peanut butter sandwich for your new friend. How cute. Have a great day.

    Beautiful butterfly. I am like you......just a few more stitches!! Love that whimsical squirrel. You are nice to have fed him, so many don't like squirrels. We do not have any out in our area.
