OWLS

Hi Everyone , this is my watercolor CLASS at Norfolk Botanical Garden.  Owls, we had live owls from Nature'sNanny,  it was amazing.  After a few warm up techniques the owls came in and we all took tons of photos and sketched them and pained them from life. I was in awe of these amazing owls and all the students  did a great job painting them. Here is my painting  from that day. Demo. I love nature. Love to you, Diana

Little Wren Painting and Sadie

Hi, I painted most of today . I really love the little birds that come to visit our feeders. The Carolina Wren is so mischievous it is one of my favorites . Went with Sadie on our path into the forest to gather leaves. Sadie takes a toy outside  when we go out. I  usually have my coffee cup. I get the feeling she thinks that is my toy. 😄 happy autumn. Love , Diana and Sadie
