"Here Comes the Rain" 8x10,framed $99,original watercolor. |
HI! Happy Fourth of July!!! Hope you are having a nice holiday. We are taking it easy,not doing much. I've painted some which I always enjoy. Here is what I've been working on a small boat painting. I especially love the sky.. I took the dark and pulled it down to the horizon to appear to be rain in the background. The boat is from Davis Wharf,Va. Marina, like a mile from my house! Here's Sadie,with those amazing brown eyes.. looking like an angel.. however yesterday she disappeared into the trees and I went after her.. Not looking down but just at her I ended up in 3 feet tall poison ivy... I 'm fine. I smeared up in hydrocortisone cream.. good grief and yes I got her -- she was after the feral cat. Mama Girl, the cat is fine and Sadie and I are too. She and I both were exhausted after our jaunt in the woods.. It's gorgeous.. but I prefer a slow walk..:) Have a wonderful day!! love,Diana
Love the boat Diana! Raining here now, so I can relate :)
ReplyDeleteJust love those pictures of Sadie, she is so beautiful. It is hard to keep up with the young ones, isn't it :)
Oh I do so like this boat painting. Much different than your usual style, yes? But perfectly handled and I do love the coming rain myself!
ReplyDeleteGreat boat painting - you really have achieved the look of rain coming in!
ReplyDeleteHow awful...remember poison ivy can stay on clothes for months if not years. I don't know if it stays on dog fur. She's looking not so much a puppy these days.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful watercolor

ReplyDeleteHope you are having a lovely weekend and your back is better and not giving you any more trouble, when you have to cope with all the antics of Sadie. She is growing so much, and such a pretty dog.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed catching up with your painting, the boat is different from your usual style but captures the scene beautifully.
Glad you have had some rain. Take care.x
Oh, Sadie!!! :-) They get into endless mischief once those legs grow long enough to get away from us quickly. I love the rain effect in the background. Ha! Every time I visit along the Chesapeake it rains, so this looks like the what I remember. :-)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the rest of your weekend,
Nanina
Dear Diana - love your boat painting. Your sky is wonderful. As for Sadie - that pooch sounds like she is keeping you busy. So glad you both are alright. Have a good week friend.
ReplyDeleteThe painting is so lovely Diana!
ReplyDeleteAs for Sadie, she is full of mischief, just like Sherlock! :0)
