Yesterday at Norfolk Botanical Garden, I had 11 ladies in my class.We studied hummingbirds and peonies. Gorgeous peonies. The azaleas were blooming, what a wonderful day. Everyone did a great job painting and we had a fun time together. Thank you all so much!

I've been painting on a watercolor of peonies today that I started yesterday. Just made some coffee, another beautiful spring day!! Happy Sunday.

 ps. Sadie,my lab,has been by my side, our kitty, Cupcake has been delighted to find a few windows open so she could get closer to the hummingbirds!!

Whirlwind Saturday!

Here I am with my paintings Saturday night at Norfolk Academy Art Show Opening.

Here is my booth at the Women's Club Art Show on Saturday.

HI! Saturday was a whirlwind. It was fun but hard. I sold 2 little paintings at the Women's Club and then John and I packed up everything and took it all home and unpacked it. I rested for 45 minutes and Beth, my dear friend, came and drove me to Norfolk to the other show. This was 1 hour and 20 minutes away. It was a wonderful show and I sold the painting to the bottom on the right, "He gave me flowers." We had fun and then stopped for supper at a tiny adorable restaurant called Leaping Lizard on Shore Drive. Finally got home at 11 and I'm still exhausted. My back, all my joints you name it hurts, I'm wiped out. Going to rest some more today.

 Yesterday I took a walk to loosen my back and came back dear Sadie, our lab,-- you know-- got in deer something.. a horrible stink-- so I had to bathe her.. the rascal crawled under the porch so I did too to get her clean. She smells like a fresh breeze now! Ha!!!

 Tell me what you are painting and doing. love to each of you, Diana
