Eastern Shore Artisan Guild Tour Nov.27 and 28 from 10am-5pm



HI Everyone, Pictured above are some of my watercolors. I had a webpage for about 6 years, a friend of mine made it for me and she died. She was a dear,missed deeply. So last  year when it came up for renewal, I didn't renew it. I've found facebook creates more interest than a website. Sad but true. These were a few of my work from the website.  Hope you all have a wonderful weekend.. I have an art show in 2 weeks.. Eastern Shore Artisan Guild Tour. I will be at Ker Place in Onancock,Va. with about 5 other artists.It is the day after Thanksgiving... yes I'm cooking. ha ha.. my plan is to have everything ready for the show the day before T. We will see.  Hope to see some local folks drop by!
I'm zonked today.. Definitely going to have some more coffee later.  Love to each of  you,Diana

Two new little watercolors,turnip greens and jelly bean.

Wild Mushrooms  original watercolor, 8x10, 99 dollars. 

Little  Chickadee, 8x10, 99.
Hi  eveyone, this week I picked up my work  from the Eastern Shore Art League  Member  show. I picked up Monelle s work too.  

John brought me a huge bag of turnip  greens so that took 3 hours to clean, pick them and cook them. Whew... it was a job. But they will be for Thanksgiving, Christmas  aND a tiny bowl for now. They are yummy.

I worked on both of these little paintings this week. We have mushrooms popping up everywhere in the yard. No idea don't  know which ones  are  edible but these are not.. the Camilla was growing in my parents  yard and smelled so sweet. Cupcake  plucked each petal off the blooms after I got it painted.

Our  little black kitty is coming around,  very loving. John named her Jelly bean. Sadie has had more knee aching this week but I give her a pain pills if she needs it.

Sending  you love, Diana

HI Everyone, Here are some photos from Saturday. I taught a class over at NBG, Puppy Painting. Here are Renee and Raina with their dear pets, Clementine is the orange kitty and forgive me Raina, I can't remember your dog's name.. I know she has another dog and 4 kitties too... and we had 2 more students. One of the blessings of teaching is making dear friends!! It was a fun Halloween for me. They all did a great job painting and drawing.

I've got to get a photo of the new kitten... but haven't done that yet. She is a purrer and I think it's a she. Name suggestions are Needed!!! Bible Study tonight. I've done my homework.  Happy Monday!! love to you,Diana
