Monarch Watercolor Continues and Smiling Dolphin Open House



Hi, I just got in from a romp in the woods. Sounds delightful ,doesn't it? Sadie the rascal,our lab puppy lead me thru some lovely brambles.. thorns.. I had her leash on her. I've got scratches on my wrists.and legs.. good grief... I had gloves on and a bright red coat. It's hunting season here(one of the reasons for Red)..Sounds like War sometimes.. ah well enough grumbling.. sorry.. Here's the monarch with a little more done. I am comparing as I paint to ensure both wings are the same size. I've still got more to do.

Next weekend,on Saturday I'll be showing my work at the Smiling Dolphin in Nassawadox,Va. Jenny Floyd owns this adorable framing shop and gallery which is upstairs. She also sells art supplies one of only 2 places on the Eastern Shore you can buy them. I've got to go on Monday or Tuesday and set up my work. I hope to finish and frame the butterfly and the others in the 2nd photo. That's what I sent to my email list inviting them to the show, hope to see them there.
Are you cooking Thanksgiving Dinner?? I am.Tell me what you've been doing.. love to you,Diana

  2. I wish you sucess for the paintings. They are looking great. Also the butterfly is turning out very nice. Thanksgiving is not a swedish tradition. But I have seen them selling turkies in the foodstores. Yes, autumn is a beautyful season with all it´s lovely colours, as shown on your photos. Nice of you to share! Give Sadie a hug from me!

  5. You have a great collection of paintings ready - almost ready. It sounds as if you will be busy right up to Thanksgiving.

    I'll be cooking too. Don't you love getting Thanksgiving dinner ready? My granddaughters love to set the table, and they get pretty creative.

    Good luck with your framing etc.
