New Camel

Me at my parents Christmas Party.

Camel Watercolor, this has a snakeskin imprint going through her face.

Hi I can not believe it is almost Christmas.  In a way I am relieved the shopping is almost over.  Now we can take more time to be with family and enjoy and remember the true meaning  of our Christmas.  I did get a call so my commission went across the bridge as it was meant to. I am so glad. Wishing you a blessed Christmas or holiday.  My love to each of you. Diana 

How did I do the snakeskin imprint?  Sadie,my lab,  found a snakeskin,  I poured or you could just wet then apply color, gently place the snakeskin down on the wet wash. There are 2 designs, the top of the snake  and the belly,choose before you place it, l chose the top for this one. I placed a rock to weigh it down and keep  it there. When the wash is dry remove the skin and rock and a gorgeous imprint is there! Hope  this helps!

Silly Camel Watercolor

This is what I just finished painting. I love her. A camel. I started with a pour. I'll have her at Art on the Farm in Machipongo,Va. this Saturday. I've got framing to do, ugh. you know I dread that. The show is lovely,lots of flowers for sale, local wine,local coffee, food, at least 50 artists. I hope you have a great day and weekend.

Sadie is doing much better. I'm trying to keep her from eating pine cones right now. What a dog.

Oh I forgot to tell you I bought a new color for my palette. Turquoise Cobalt. Have you used this color?? love to you all,Diana
