Painting Glads,Sunflowers

Still working  on this...

Hi, so hard to believe  summer is zooming by and August begins tomorrow. I am working on this watercolor of gladiolus and added the butterfly today.it needs  another  short flower on the empty side. The pink phlox are in our backyard and the butterflies really love them. I enjoy watching so much.The sunflowers  are in a field near Quinby, Va. I was up in Wachapreague  (near there) this week. It was such a treat to see them, I took  lots of photos  to paint  later. Wishing  you a wonderful  August, love to you, Diana

Hi, we went to NC for our family beach vacation.  Lots of good food,supply, sand,reading,being with family and me painting. It was a lovely time. Came home tired but that is the way vacations go.ha ha.

Tell me what you have been doing.

I am working  on a couple of small watercolors for Seaside Antiques, my great aunt shop in Wachapreague,Va.

She has local art and antiques, an adorable shop. I am going to make some iced coffee wish you were here too. Love to each of you!Diana 

Just keep painting

hi, I can't believe it is July already.  A friend of mine and I went to Evas for coffee one day. She has a tiny ,precious farmstead near Harborton, Va.  Her flowers that day were gorgeous, I brought some home, gladiolus were my favorite in the bouquet so I started  this painting. 

I had a show in the Red Queen Gallery. It was a dud,sold only a tiny one,ah well.On to the next show,right.

Sadie is doing great,well she did just try to eat something she wasn't supposed to but that is normal.The kitties are,doing fine too.my flowers are beautiful.  I am trying to root some hydrangea for the empty land.

I hope you are having  a wonderful summer.  Love to you.Diana
