Monarch Watercolor
HI, I started a Monarch Butterfly watercolor. You know, I only saw 2 of them this year. Isn't that strange? We normal have so many going thru on their journey. I was disappointed.. I thought I'd paint one. The colors don't show up quite right here, ah well.. Here's Sadie she's just woken up. She had a wonderful walk with her leash and me attached into the nursery this morning. We got to the center of the nursery and turned near the ginko trees.. I picked up a couple of leaves and I was delighted to see our friend,John S. biking by on the road when we returned. We both enjoyed seeing him. Here is our road --our house is in the yard to the right and the nursery is to the left. I was trying to show you the gorgeous colors in the trees! Hope you have a nice weekend!! Love,Diana

Diana - can't wait to see your finished butterfly. So glad you and Sadie had a lovely walk...looks like you have a beautiful place and setting. Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteOh my, the light in the butterfly painting is really well done. I can almost feel the sun's warmth.
ReplyDeleteI also saw fewer Monarchs this year. I did see more swallowtail butterflies than ever before. It reminds me of in the 1990s when the snow geese began out numbering the Canadian Geese at a local wildlife refuge.
Seeing that gorgeous area in which you live makes me feel bad that Sadie can no longer go off exploring on her own. I think that forest would be a doggie paradise! The butterfly is looking beautiful, Diana!
ReplyDeleteDiana, your butterfly is off to a great start! And the scenery on your walks is fantastic! Thank you so much for that picture. :)
