Sunflowers in Watercolor

Hi Everyone,  I painted this little sunflower by putting a line of red rose pink, crossed a line of thalo blue and then a line of yellow light. Drawing a bud of a sunflower and painting it with the colors where they were. It was fun. Saturday I teach at Norfolk Botanical Garden. Sunflowers. I planted 4 packs of sunflowers John cut 2 packs down mowing haha so I planted more. NBG is going to get me some flowers as well as one from my niece, and a few from my yard.Good night ,love to you, Diana 

Wack it With A Hammer Kind of Day and Franktown ART SHOW THIS SATURDAY

New Watercolors for Franktown UMC Art Show this weekend.

Have you ever had a "Wack it with a Hammer" kind of day?? This is the kind of day when if a hammer is near it would be lovely to wack the computer or whatever isn't working with it. Of course you have. We all have and this is one of those for me.   Oh Boy!.. I tried to get on blogger to find my address had been deleted from the computer. Then I got that straight to find my photos were where??? I had changed the batteries in the camera -- I don't know why but I couldn't find the photos... well you understand. Just took these new photos for the show this weekend. I'll send an email as soon as the email starts to work again! HA... I send an email to my friends and customers with a new photo of my newest work before my art show. I usually do it one week in advance with the information about the show. 

Here is my new sunflower painting finished. Remember the cherish the day post,well the top little painting is other treasures I found with Sadie's(our white Labrador retriever) help, of course, and painted on masa paper. My newest crab watercolor, my lotus blossom, my 2 owls, and my newest the eggplant with Raina's tomato and Daddy's Sugar Maple leaf. John, my husband brought me this eggplant this past Friday and I had to paint it first, then yesterday, I made ratatouille. Yes, actually I'm a good cook.

The Franktown UMChurch Art Show and Bazaar is this Saturday from 9;30am-3;30pm. I will be there with other artists and the bazaar too will be going on so gorgeous art and tons of homemade baked goods will be featured. I hope you can come if you are nearby. Franktown,Va. near Nassawadox,Va. on Virginia's Eastern Shore.

A Week

Sunflower in garden in Cape Charles,Va.

Blooming Devil's Walking Stick.. the butterflies love this. It's in my backyard!

My adorable Sadie.

It's been one of those few days when everything is going on and I haven't painted like I wanted to.  I've done a few little things. I did a quick forest scene trying to capture the golden back lighting coming thru the trees. I did it in just a few minutes.

Here it is. fun but ah well.. so what did I do this week. Well, I had a couple of lessons I taught. I went to Cape Charles at the Stage Door Gallery on Wednesday to pick up some paintings. I sold another silly chicken painting! ha ha.. I stopped at the Appleseed Nurseries on the way home and looked around, didn't buy anything this time. Thursday I went to my parents to help them and today I went to Nancy's funeral,which was nice if funerals can be nice,yes of course I cried..so I've been trying to read just now while John is watching a fight on tv. I've starting a new James Patterson book-- I know I'll enjoy it once I get in it. I did read a excellent art book this week. Everyday Matters by Danny Gregory. So inspiring, I've read it once and am rereading it.. Hope you have a wonderful weekend. What have you done this week? talk to you soon,Love to you,Diana
