Painting Sea Shells, Visiting, and ESCC Art Show

  
Hi !! Today I took Beth and Charlie  (the black LAB) back their sea shells. We had a lovely visit, Charlie grabbed my hat. Just like Sadie does,he loves to play. Sadie couldn't go this time,we are still trying to keep her quiet as she heals.  I have enjoyed painting Beth s lovely shelbs as well as taught 2 classes with them.here is one of my little watercolors, then, my dear friend Beth and Charlie.

It is another grey cold day. I am so much happier when the sun is shining. Looking  for something  to paint today,  next weekend  is the Heritage Festival at Eastern Shore Community College in Melfa,VA.  I will be showing my lovely art there in the Atrium Saturday, Feb.27 from 10am to 3pm. Lots of local art, old tractors, BY THE BAY ALPACAS,  ES Cornmeal, so many wonderful things to see and do. Come see,if you are nearby.

Love to each of you,Diana

Camellias and Sea Shells

Hi, tomorrow  I am teaching at NBG, Norfolk Botanical Garden. I have been getting ready  all day. We will be painting  Camellias and Sea shells. Two dear friends have given me these flowers. I went over and picked them today. Aren't  they gorgeous! ! Another dear friend  lent me some amazing  shells,  2 I had to paint, you can see why the colors  and texture just drew me in.  I had  a class  this week too at ESO in Belle Haven, Va.,which is a wonderful old renovated school  dedicated to teaching art.

I am tired but ready for class. I slipped and fell yesterday  unpacking  the car. Bruised my thigh, knees, ankle, back and hip... but just my left side.. ibuprofen isn't  helping  much. I will  be  ok.. Sadie is doing better, Dr.Bailey  says we won't  know for sure  if the infection is gone until after the antibotics have all been taken. We have  been going every week to check her. John will watch over her tomorrow.  Talk to you soon, love, Diana
