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

Lilies and Iced Tea

HI,Today, I've started sketching a stargazer lily painting. I just picked some spearmint growing by my front door for my iced tea and am going to enjoy working on this sketch this afternoon. I received flowers yesterday.. our anniversary and now feel like I want to paint a rose too. So many flowers and so little time! Then Anne came by yesterday and brought asparagus and I said oh no I've got to paint them too! But I did cook most of them for supper.. Oh they were so good. We had a black snake warming itself in my flower patch yesterday and I heard the first whippoorwill yesterday early in the morning. Spring must be here.. Talk to you soon! Diana

A Day of Rest

HI Everyone, After an art show we are taking a day of rest. As you can see we are all wiped out. Daisy just did too much! HA!HA! I have to put away my framing equipment, straighten up my art table..you get the idea..so we have taken a short walk and enjoyed the sunshine,dandelions and we saw 3 white tailed deer gallop in front of us.. they were magnificent! Cardinals and sparrows flitting here and there. Oh my! Such beauty --we've got to soak up some! Talk to you soon,Diana
