Setting Up for The Art Show --New Hummingbird Watercolors

HI, Today is going to be a whirlwind. I have to set up for the Women's Club Art Show in Onley,Va. The car is packed.. thank you John. I don't know what I'd do without him. I finished and framed 8 paintings yesterday. So now just tons of coffee, and slowly unload all that stuff by myself and set it all up. I'll get it done. Slowly---ha ha.. If you are nearby come see the show. It's delightful, lots of plants and baked good and art..beautiful art.

 Wish me luck, and thank you my dear buddies.

 Love to each of  you,Diana

My Sadie trying to find something.

Roosters of mine.

hi, Yesterday's class was so nice, I had 8 students at NBG(Norfolk Botanical Garden). We painted cherry blossoms and pussy willow branches. Some added Common Blue butterfly to their painting. The blossoms of so many trees were out and gorgeous at the garden. Colors everywhere... so amazing. Pictured above are Bette,Renee and Raina,3 of my students and friends. Everyone did a good job. I showed them how to do a wash with mingled blue and pink and then come back into it and add water to create backwashes for pink flowers. They also drew some of the flowers. and painted them as well as the pussy willow branches... Kathy ,one of the students and friend,brought me some Lenten Roses for my yard. I've planted them and they look great!! Thank you so much Kathy!!!

Sadie stayed with John and was so fluffy and clean when I got home. He had to bathe her-- ha ha.. she had rolled in something smelly... ha ha.. poor John.

The rooster is just the beginning of a watercolor I started this afternoon.. I loved the sketch I did in my sketchbook so I thought I'd paint the rooster.

Hope you are having a wonderful weekend. Love to you!! Diana

A Grumpy Rooster Watercolor

No more chickens for a while. I know. I was on the phone sitting at my art table with a blank piece of paper and out it comes another chicken. I feel much like this rooster this week.. lots of red.. flames in the back,grumpy,yes, it definitely could be me. I will move on to other subjects.. but what..I don't know. Any ideas? Tell me what you are working on.  Next week I'll try not to be a grumpy thing!..

It's ok. I'm not upset about it,but we can't see the puppies for a few weeks to protect them from germs  and so we'll just enjoy photos when she sends them.  Happy Weekend. Love,Diana
