Sassafras Leaf and Persimmon Top Watercolor and Sadie's Ramblings

Sassafras Leaf and Persimmon Top

Snuggly Sadie
HI, probably not a masterpiece but I painted another leaf! ha ha.. Sadie is napping some this afternoon. Ok ,so we did end up in the woods quite a bit earlier.I'm tired and she is too. I'm thrilled. I've painted another found leaf, Sassafras-- I love the sound of the name and the actual leaves. It has 3 kinds of leaves, one like this, another shaped like a mitten, and then a more simple leaf shape. This tree is in our woods/yard. Gran's Daddy used to make  hot tea for her from the roots of this kind of wild tree.  Sadie and I found a wild Persimmon tree in the front yard. I knew we had one in the backyard. One little persimmon on the lawn,so I saved the top and here it is. ( She would have eaten it but I hid it from her,she already ate a locust this morning.. good grief..)

So what to paint now. I need some ideas..What can we paint? Have a wonderful weekend. love to  you,Diana

    Oy. And you have what? Another 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 years of puppyish activity? She wears me out just reading of her daily antics. LOL My grandma used to make us sassafras tea at times and I still have good memories of it.

    Hi Diana,
    The sassafras leaf is gorgeous, and I love the name, too. It has such beautiful shape and color. As for Miss Sadie ... is there anything she does not try to eat??? :)
    I am enjoying the Fabriano. It really does feel different to work with, and I would not have expected papers to be that dissimilar.
