Japanese Garden in Watercolor in the works. .

Hi, today I have been working  on this watercolor  of The Japanese Garden  at the Norfolk Botanical Garden.   I did some pouring yesterday and put all 3 of my potato  masher on the wet wash. Can you see it at the bottom of the paper??

I think the right top is way too busy so I'm going to try to simplify it tomorrow. 

Sadie is coming along nicely. She was happily rolling in the backyard this afternoon.She and Cupcake, our kitty, have become buddies and this morning Cupcake was playing  with Sadies  ear while Sadie  napped. So cute!!! Sadie is our lab.

Hope you all are doing great,so sorry I haven't been blogging much lately.  I will visit you soon. Love to each of you Diana

Ps my class Saturday  was great 14 students and we painted what I am doing now. I will post a photo  soon!!

On Vacation, now home.

Paintings from the 

Beach.

hi! We have been on vacation.  Sixteen family members enjoyed Rodanthe,  NC.  These are a few of my paintings on the beach and me having my coffee as the sun rose the day we came home. We could see the sun rise and set from the beach house, it was gorgeous. Waves,marshmallows burnt over an open fire,playing corn hole, family,great food and love of dear ones.  I am burnt from the sun but that is ok, talk to you soon, love to each of you. Diana   we are home now,Sadie did fine and Cupcake  is happy to see us.

Went Dark.

Hi, I decided to go with a dark  background, I am happy with it.  I ha to go back after the background dried and glazed parts of it to make it even darker so the flowers would stand out.  My love to each of you, Diana
