Wisteria, Happy Easter Wisteria

Hi, Sadie, my Lab,  and I enjoyed the nice weather and sat on the back porch sketching today. I love being  outside.  No hummingbirds  here yet. I hope the little  ones are ok. This Saturday  I  teach  at Norfolk Botanical Garden.  Wisteria, tulips and Hummingbirds.  Luckily  my dear friend Mamie has some wisteria,  the garden has tulips. I hope you all have a blessed  Easter, my love to you.Diana

Painted Paw Prints

Today was a difficult day. Thank you all for your lovely words of comfort and love.I finished my wisteria.. which was a struggle. Daisy had made muddy paw prints into the back porch on Tuesday, I wanted to preserve them so I sketched them in my sketchbook(cried)and today I painted them onto the porch..(cried)I miss her so much.. thank you so much for your support. love,Diana

Happy Easter and Pork Chop Painting

HI,I've been working on this little pig watercolor. I put the pink checkerboard in the background to contrast with the pig.I think I'll name him Pork Chop.

I had errands to run in Exmore this morning,a small town just 7 miles away and guess what I got. More Wisteria. I've draped it over my art table to contain the blossoms. As I was walking in with it,I felt like a flower girl.Blossoms were dropping everywhere. Oh it smells so good.. So I've want to work on that this afternoon..

But I must do some cleaning-I'm so glad my son's coming home for Easter. Wish so much my daughter could come home too but she is getting ready for their opening of Vintage Karma Shop.
Wishing you all a blessed Easter and Passover. talk to you soon,Diana

Painting with the Generator Guys

HI,two generator installers were here today. While they were here I painted,I worked on the wisteria painting-the wisteria flower on my art table is quickly drying up but still smells heavenly.

Then I was going thru some paper and found this little piece and knew it was this rooster. I hope I just finished him. It may take another glaze to the background. We'll see how it dries. I need a title any ideas..

Thank goodness I found some soup in the freezer. I just popped that into the microwave for supper. I'm wiped out! ha ha.. talk to you soon!Diana
PS I ordered these paints from Jerry's about a month ago and yippee they arrived! I had to put the yellow on my rooster's eyes!
