Happy Sunday!

HI, Happy Sunday! Here is a photo from Norfolk Botanical Garden. This little office is one of the stops on the tram. I was at NBG yesterday teaching an OWL painting class in watercolor. We had a good time. I enjoyed it so much. Nine students.  I also hung 3 new 8 x 10s in my show in Baker Hall. Please come if you can--- hope some of you can see it during September while my art show is open.

I'm exhausted but planning on reading this afternoon. Sending my love to you. Diana

Hanging the show.

I framed 15 paintings this weekend.  Today was delivery day at Norfolk Botanical Garden  for the show.   While Connie  was hanging the paintings I sold 2 .  I had never takenthe tram around the garden, so today I  treated myself. I  was in awe of the beauty. It was so much fun, and I took plenty of photos  to paint. However tonight I don't  plan on moving from this recliner except of course to go walk Sadie ,perhaps  we will here a Screech Owl.  Love to each of you. Tomorrow I am making Apple Cake for the reception. Love,Diana

Hi!  I finished my heron watercolor.  Now, I have started  a new painting with 2 butterflies,  a Monarch  and a Tiger Swallow tail.  This  has an angel wing begonia.  I am having a One  woman art show in Baker  Hall at Norfolk Botanical Garden for the month of September.   I am trying  to paint as much as I can so I will have many new pieces. I have a new series  of little owls to take as well as so many more.  My reception is September 3, Thursday.  Everyone's  invited. Hope you can come if you are nearby.  Time is 4-7pm.  I am excited. Spread the word and invite your friends.  There is a fee to get into the garden, but you can enjoy the gorgeous  place while you are there.  Thank you all for your support, it means so very much to me!! Love to each of you, Diana

Copper Creations Christmas Open House This Saturday!! Dec. 13.

Copper Creations in Melfa,Va. is having their Christmas Open House here are some of my new originals for the show!! .

HI Everyone, I'm still working on the little rose painting. I hope to have it finished by Saturday. That is when Copper Creations Christmas Open House is. I've got baking to do for it. I always make a Fresh Apple Cake, some cookies, and some cornbread. Donna Drew has 2 kinds of soup, and every other artist brings food too, so come and munch and buy some art if you are nearby. Just to see you will be a treat. 10am-4pm Dec. 13.

My dear Sadie, our Lab is napping finally today. Its been rainy and cold outside so I played ball for awhile but not long enough. She has been trying to get my attention all morning. So far she's eaten a Halloween sock, a small bottle of powdered iridescent paint, and 2 plackers, the tooth pick/cleaners. I've pried them out of her mouth and she didn't swallow much. Thank goodness. I want to work on my rose painting.

Our Christmas tree is up and fat and short. I love it. But I don't know how much else I'll decorate, I have 2 more shows and am trying to paint as much as I can. Pictured above is the 5 new watercolors I have for this show, but I have to frame them. Anyway it's a blessing to have so many things coming up.  Hope to talk to you soon, love to each of you,Diana

Next show is Eastville Inn , Artwork there on Dec.14, Opening Dec. 20, 6-8pm, One Woman Show. Diana Davis.  I'll be painting a demo there too!!
