| What I'm working on now, the lotus blossom from NBG and a dragonfly. |

| You see she won't even look at me for her mug shot. |
It wasn't tranquil here. You know who... Sadie , our lab, would not stop doing bad things. She dug a hole in front of the air conditioner, three times. I've filled it up each time added coffee grounds to it, I hope that keeps her away. She got a mouthful of crush and run gravel and looked over her shoulder as if to say-- see what I"m eating.. I got that away from her and smacked her backside. Then she grabbed my sponge off my palette, I use one to control the amount of water on my brush. it was saved in pieces. I didn't want her to hurt herself.. oh yes and she tried to eat An Old Man in the Woods Mushroom., a black furry mushroom. What a silly dog! I'm exhausted.
The watercolor--
I've still got to add another glaze to the water/dark-- sepia ,ultramarine blue, and viridian mix. I want this to really pop it up. The dragonfly needs to be lifted a little so it can be seen. I may add a touch of cadmium yellow dark to a few of the leaves. So that's my day so far, what have you been doing?? love to you,Diana
Does Sadie ever keep you busy!!!! What a mischievous girl! Maggie seems sedate by comparison.

I love Sadie's photo! Hysterical!!! Would that I could be painting! One of these days life will settle down. Your work is looking awesome and can't wait to see it finished!!!
ReplyDeleteOh I am right with you there Diana! Sherlock seems to have days were he decides he is just going to do everything he can to distract me so he gets the attention! And he knows what 'Drop it' means... but if he has something he shouldn't, he gets lock jaw and will not let go! I tear my hair out sometimes! Hopefully it's just their age.... right?? Anyway, despite the distractions, you still painted a gorgeous painting! :0)
ReplyDeleteLOL Sadie is a stinker...:) At least she did not eat your painting.
ReplyDeleteThe lotus blossom is beautiful! One of the classic watercolor subjects.
ReplyDeleteThat is one guilty-looking puppy!
Thank you Laura, I enjoyed painting it and yes she is. Dee you are so right. Sandra I know, I know..haha.. Sherrie, you will get to painting. Kathryn, she does nap, thank goodness after we play hard. So I try to run her around in the morning, it's good we don't have close neighbors they would be histerical seeing me play ball in my bathrobe!. love to each of you,Diana
ReplyDeleteDon't complain.... she keeps you young.... that's her job in life. !!! LOL !
