Tiger Swallowtail Butterfly and Negative Painting

First I did a pour then drew my butterfly.  Started the wings and picked some wild honeysuckle from the backyard. Drew that then painted around it in the colors of the pour. I love negative painting.  This has taken some time as my sciatica is acting up l have more to do on it as you can see. I am getting better still resting though. Teaching this Saturday.  Love to you,Diana

DRAGON

My Dragon drawn at Norfolk Botanical Garden in class.

 Hi Everyone,  here are some photos from my CLASS this past weekend.  Everyone did a beautiful job. This was a hard CLASS, drawing a dragon,  palace,and a goldfish  floating in the pond outside  our windows.  I am so proud of them. NBG is having a special  program called Lantern Asia.  The halls are filled with handmade kimonos made of lace papers. The gift shop is full of beautiful things.it was a lovely day. Bobbie, Renee and I walked around after CLASS. I stopped at Starbucks,  my kids give me cards and I enjoy their coffee so much. Then I needed more flowers and went to McDonald's Nursery for inspiration of flowers.  Exhausted when I got home. Such a wonderful day.love and Easter blessings to you all, Diana
