Eastern Shore Heritage Festival

Eastern Shore Heritage Festival is this upcoming Saturday, Feb.22 from10am-3pm. I'll be there with my original watercolors and there will be other local artists, displays about the Eastern Shore of Va.,and good food! If you are nearby please stop in. Oh -- it's being held as usual at the Eastern Shore Community College in Melfa,Va. and I'll be in the Atrium in the building to the Left.

I'm looking forward to it. I send out an email before each of the shows I'm in. Here are my latest work which I lay on my dining room table and take a photo of teetering on a dining room chair.. to get an above shot.( Yes Sadie's usually standing by the chair!) Then I send this photo off to my email list of customers,friends, and students..It helps me show them my newest work as well as advertises. It's a good idea to help with your shows. Keep the email list and send out a photo of your latest work to your customers. ( I'm more artist than merchandiser but we must keep our work out there.--I hope this helps you in some way.)

I've got frames coming in tomorrow. Today I'll be painting. Not sure what yet but I'll be painting.
Hope you all are warm and have a lovely day and sending you my love,Diana

Lilies in Watercolor

HI, I'm in a slump. A painting slump..  But I decided to push and do this yellow day lily, Sherrie I held the blackeyed susan up to the painting but it was too small and didn't fit with the lilies. So tell me what you think. I added the burnt sienna under the yellow day lily to define it some more. It became lost next to the bolder ones. I'll look at it for a few days to see if I'm finished..

  Here is a lily from my garden. I'm in awe that it's here and it's so gorgeous. I've tried not to look at it when Sadie was looking. I can just see her running around the backyard in glee with my stargazer lily in her mouth. ha ha. Not so far!! Thank goodness. Here is Sadie on the Eastern Shore News.   Talk to you soon. love,Diana
