A Week

Sunflower in garden in Cape Charles,Va.

Blooming Devil's Walking Stick.. the butterflies love this. It's in my backyard!

My adorable Sadie.
It's been one of those few days when everything is going on and I haven't painted like I wanted to.  I've done a few little things. I did a quick forest scene trying to capture the golden back lighting coming thru the trees. I did it in just a few minutes.
Here it is. fun but ah well.. so what did I do this week. Well, I had a couple of lessons I taught. I went to Cape Charles at the Stage Door Gallery on Wednesday to pick up some paintings. I sold another silly chicken painting! ha ha.. I stopped at the Appleseed Nurseries on the way home and looked around, didn't buy anything this time. Thursday I went to my parents to help them and today I went to Nancy's funeral,which was nice if funerals can be nice,yes of course I cried..so I've been trying to read just now while John is watching a fight on tv. I've starting a new James Patterson book-- I know I'll enjoy it once I get in it. I did read a excellent art book this week. Everyday Matters by Danny Gregory. So inspiring, I've read it once and am rereading it.. Hope you have a wonderful weekend. What have you done this week? talk to you soon,Love to you,Diana

  2. Funerals...I just hate them. Sounds like your day was super busy but your energy always amazes me. You must have loads of it since you are able to stay on top of Sadie's antics so perfectly.

  4. Loved seeing some of your week in pictures. The sunflower is awesome. Of course adorable Sadie is beautiful and I love your quick sketch of the woods...I think you did capture the light coming through the back of the trees. So sad about your friend. I have been seeing that book cropping up on other blogs...sounds like something I need to order from the library or Amazon! Hope you have a great week friend and get some rest like Sadie! Hugs
