New Painting

Hydrangeas and Hummingbird, framed 16x20, $300.

Here's part of my flower patch, these are Bee Balm which the hummingbirds love.

Sadie found a bug by the back door. Living in the woods we have all kinds!

Here's my new painting.I've propped it up to look at it for a few days before I frame it. The hydrangeas took a long time to paint but I enjoyed them so much. I decided on a hummingbird as we have so many now zooming around. I have 3 feeders out,one by the front steps and 2 by the back porch. Sadie doesn't seem to mind them,thank goodness. Now the lizards and frogs she loves to chase and hop with. I have had a few stray sunflowers come up in the garden and she broke one last night so I'm going to have to paint it today. A small yellow with green center sunflower, it will be a delight! Better go get my dishes done then on to the painting. Tell me what  you are doing today! love to each of you,Diana

Hydrangeas in Watercolor

HI, I sketched this hydrangea this weekend and have started to paint it this morning. I love the colors. I want to hold on to the looseness of the background in the flowers. We'll see. We have this bush in our yard. I love hydrangeas and have 8 in the backyard some I rooted myself. They do grow really well in the woods,thank goodness. So many things require so much sun and don't do well here.

Here's Sadie, she has something in her mouth. She's hiding under my art table and of course I'm right there ready to pry it out --whatever it is.. Oh no.. Have a great Monday. love,Diana
