Looks Like it's Snowing Again!!

Sadie enjoying watching it snow.

Daffodil watercolor beginning.

Hi, it's snowing again. This has to be a record for us.We don't usually get much snow at all. The temperature will be in the 40s tomorrow so it should be melting quickly. Sadie loves to watch it snow. Ha ha.. She started barking today earlier because it was very large flakes coming down. She gets up on my son's bed and peeks out the window. She's looking out there now. I started drawing some beautiful daffodils from a bouquet my mother gave me yesterday from her yard. Hope you aren't getting snow too. love to you,Diana

Watercolor of Spring

Watercolor In progress...for show this Saturday.

Sadie sleeps by my feet as I paint.Good Girl!

Hi, I've finally started on this second painting I need for the art show on Saturday. I wanted to do Hellebores so they are on the left hand side and the title is "Color of Spring"( I can't ever think of what I'm going to paint so it has to be a fits everything painting title! Ha ha) so I wanted daffodils for yellow..too. However I found the bright yellow daffodils were too bold and over powered the Hellebores so here is what I have so far. Sadie has been a dear all day sleeping by my feet as I paint.. What are you painting or doing today?? Love to you,Diana

Daffodils and Unusual Texturing on Watercolors

HI, after church this morning I went over to Mama and Daddy's for coffee,came home made lunch and cleaned up my art table and now took a short walk. Yesterday I realized I hadn't painted all day .I had helped John with yard work. So I did a wash of lots of colors on a sheet of paper and put 3 potato mashers directly down on the paper as it dried. It formed some interesting patterns. I 'll try and take a photo of it and show you tomorrow. It'll be fun to figure out what to paint on that! What is the silliest thing you have used on your watercolor painting?? Tell me!! ha ha.. I suppose vodka was my silliest..drizzle it on and it acts like alcohol.. leaving a round spot.. try it..

 Here is some daffodils from last year. I will teaching a class at ESOwww.esoartscenter.org 

on Thursday of this week on painting daffodils in watercolor. I'll take a large bouquet of Mama's flowers from her yard. Living in the shade of the pine trees I only get a few and they aren't blooming yet.:)

 Well take care and enjoy the rest of your weekend. love,Diana 

Daffodils again..

Rainy day today. Daisy has enjoyed the stove,so have I. Stay warm,Diana
