I can't believe it is February, where did time go. I have been teaching a class at ESO in Belle Haven, Va. Just 2 students but we have been learning and having a good time and producing beautiful watercolors. Four weeks, this one Thursday will be the last one. This Saturday I will be teaching at Norfolk Botanical Garden, Chickadee and Dogwood. Like the one above. Later this month the first show of the year Eastern Shore Heritage Festival at Eastern Shore Community College in Melfa, Va. I have been working on an old tractor ,I am not sure of the background yet,
any suggestions? My love to each of you, Diana
Beautiful paintings. The background I'll leave to your good judgement. Sadie is as precious as ever. Happy Painting!
ReplyDeleteThanks May, I am thinking trees for background. We will see. Sadie is my shadow or I am hers,grey days are hard for me. Thanks and love, Diana
DeleteLovely, lovely paintings-always! Your tractor reminded me of an artist's work I recently saw at Etsy. All his work is of old machinery and rusty things-but somewhere on that, perching like it belongs on the old junk-is a lovely bird. I love that kind of contrast-it makes such a bold statement.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad Sadie is well-she sure is a lover girl.
Love to you-sure wish I could take your classes....
Thank you Debra, I love old rusty tractors, I am using Quinacrodone Burnt Orange, kinda a souped up Burnt sienna. I had thought about a bird, I bet that does look good. Yes I don't know what I would do without my Sadie, I would love for you to paint with me wish we were closer. Love to you , Diana
DeleteThe chickadee and dogwood is exquisite, Diana!

Oh Diana - your Chickadee and dogwood is just beautiful. Definitely my idea of everything a watercolor should be. Love it friend. So wish I could come take a class or two from you. You are ever so good! Hugs!
