Hurry up and Paint...

HI, I'm rushing. I finally decided what to paint. Remember earlier this summer I actually held a Screech owl.. So I thought one of those and the leaves have been so gorgeous so I added those, and here it is the  beginning of the watercolor. A pour first in autumn colors, then the drawing of Maple Leaves and the little owl. Now to paint.Good grief I'm running out of time.. This is my 2nd entry to the ESAL show,which is this coming Saturday. Delivery is Thursday. Yes I have to frame them too.

 As you can see the Help(Sadie, our dear lab puppy) is not cooperating. I put the flea medication on her back and she squeezed under the couch. She had earlier in her puppydom torn the underlining...The tail really makes me laugh hanging out like that.. I've got to go get back to the painting. I'll start on the head of the owl. Worse comes to worse, I can stay up one night to finish the painting..

 love to each of you,Diana

 Please tell me what you think..at this stage I feel like tossing everything.. thanks!!!

Gorgeous Peachy Colored Leaves

HI! I spotted these leaves in my backyard yesterday. In just one day the colors seemed to have turned this gorgeous peachy and golden colors. I had to go take photos. Somehow in my eyes it's so much more beautiful than it appears here. Are the leaves turning there?? I had to paint a few, I can smell that wonderful Fall leaf /woodsy smell as I paint them. I also had to paint a wild persimmon, they smell like citrus and peaches.. yum. Love the peachy color. I'm using Cad. Yellow Dark and Opera Pink mixed together. Sadie loves watching the leaves fall! That's my girl!

 love to each of you and tell me what you've been painting,Diana
