Japanese Garden in Watercolor in the works. .

Hi, today I have been working  on this watercolor  of The Japanese Garden  at the Norfolk Botanical Garden.   I did some pouring yesterday and put all 3 of my potato  masher on the wet wash. Can you see it at the bottom of the paper??

I think the right top is way too busy so I'm going to try to simplify it tomorrow. 

Sadie is coming along nicely. She was happily rolling in the backyard this afternoon.She and Cupcake, our kitty, have become buddies and this morning Cupcake was playing  with Sadies  ear while Sadie  napped. So cute!!! Sadie is our lab.

Hope you all are doing great,so sorry I haven't been blogging much lately.  I will visit you soon. Love to each of you Diana

Ps my class Saturday  was great 14 students and we painted what I am doing now. I will post a photo  soon!!

Striped Daffodil Painting

Hi, well Daisy is waiting for her dinner. We just took a lovely(short-she can't go too far) walk in the nursery. They have the most amazing camellias. My favorite is Pink Icicle.. big,floppy and pink.Gorgeous.We have permission, Daisy and Dusty were the "BUNNY PATROL" to help chase sweet little bunnies, and mice ,too, ok, and 3 foxes, away.(The dogs could really run when in the mood and of course I was attached to them with leashes -so I was attempting to keep up-- a hilarious sight!) It feels like Dusty is walking beside us when we go walking.

Today I've been working on this little almost abstract daffodil watercolor. I started with one of my pours and sketched the daffodils, then blocked in some colors to create negative space and threw in some stripes for the fun of it. It's definitely different!! ha ha.. I like it. Is it too silly??

take care and talk to you soon,Diana
