I'm Back!

HI! Sorry I haven't been on my blog lately. I've missed everyone. I've had computer trouble as you know. We had to get a new computer and I'm getting used to it slowly.

 We went to Rodanthe,NC for a week with the family which was great. I painted each day on the beach. So beautiful there, miss hearing the waves and smelling the salt water.

 When we got home I taught a wonderful watercolor class at Norfolk Botanical Garden. I had 7 students and we painted monarch butterflies and milkweed. They all did beautifully.

 Sadie, our dog, is doing fine. She is by my side all the time. I'll be painting today. I want to finish a gladiola painting, the flowers are finished but I'm going to add a butterfly or hummingbird.

 

 

I saw a tree frog this morning on our back door. They are so precious. Here's a painting of one I did ! love and hugs to each of you , Diana

Roar Continues but a Quick Technique I just tried!

Trying to quickly show you this. I drew my hummingbird and flower then wet the w/c paper. Put Saran Wrap on it and loaded a tiny brush with color put that under the plastic wrap and look. It is delicate and fun.. after it dries I removed the wrap and painted. Sadie is not happy either. The computer is still crashing. I hope Clay can do something, we have virus protection but now it says we have 10 or so viruses.. Thank you Maywyn so much for your support. davisart@verizon.net     of course I may not be able to get it. I'm signing off, this roaring is draining. love and hugs to each of you. Hope to talk soon.love,Diana

Crashing as we speak!

Here I am. I made it on the computer. It's crashing I think. You can email me or call but I'm thinking the computer is soon gone.  So if you don't hear from me that is why. Love to each of you. Diana
