Amaryllis Watercolor on Masa and Cupcake's Vet Visit...

My Amaryllis just bloomed, so I had to paint it.
 

HI, I bought this amaryllis bulb on sale after Christmas. I've never had one this color and just love it. I painted it on masa paper. First I drew it , then wet one petal added some color, using Red Rose Deep and Cad Yellow Deep for the peachy color and just Red Rose Deep for the pinker color.The green is Cad. Yellow Light and Viridian, and Cad Yellow Deep and Viridian. All  of these paints are Da Vinci Watercolor. I wonder if I should put a background to it. What do you think?? Hope you are warm and painting. love to each of you,Diana

PS Cupcake , our kitty, went to the veternarian on Monday for her first visit. She is a female, well ,and Dr. Bailey said "She's Perfect." She hid for the rest of the day and only came out when John got home, then would not look at me. I was the one who took her to the vets!! ha ha..

Orchid Masa Watercolor Finished. Let's have some Tea...

Orchids, 8x10, just need to frame it. $99.



Sadie, but she is still up and wanting to play..

HI, I finished my orchids this morning.  This is on the masa paper. See all the little cracks and crevices the paper creates.. perfect for flowers, quilts, any kind of watercolor painting.The photo I used is from the NBG class last weekend. The orchids were gorgeous. I know I've said that. ha ha.. I've been grocery shopping today and now am having a cup of tea..

 Sadie wants to play some more. I don't. Nope , not at all. Just want to chill as my kids would say and watch the sun sink behind the trees.

  Hope you have a wonderful weekend. love to each of you,Diana
ps. It only took me about a year to figure out how to put the Facebook Badge on.. I'm learning..ha ha.

Cosmos in Watercolor with Masa Technique

HI, Here's my new Cosmos Flowers Watercolor on Masa. It's 8x10. I"ve just finished it the morning. I planted some in my garden. Mama gave me some seed. She has them in her garden and it also used to be one of Gran's favorite flowers. I've painted off and on this weekend as we had company. Our son came home.He just left to go back home. I miss him already. My daughter's in Illinois.. so I haven't seen her in awhile.. miss her too.

Well this week I've got framing to do and a show this Saturday in Onancock at the Harborfest..take care, and enjoy the rest of your holiday weekend. Labor Day here in the USA...love to all,Diana
