Cupcakes


Cupcakes

My little cupcakes fit right in over at
Crazy Amigos. I would not have done another post
about anything to eat but they twisted my arm and
made me do it.

You may remember a cupcake from awhile back or even
this strawberry cake. You can look cause they are calorie
free.

We don´t have an ocean but the view of the Alps
from one of our many lakes is always a sight to behold.

Let´s Eat


Let´s Eat

You know what they say don´t you?
Life is uncertain...eat dessert first!

Yesterday I posted a piggy who happened
to be a binge eater and today I am eating dessert.
What does all this mean? Maybe I need to enter
therapy as soon as possible or just eat dinner
before posting is a better idea.

Paint Party Friday is serving cake today.
Why don´t you go have a piece.

What did you eat for dessert today?

Vamos a la Playa

Vamos a la Playa

I find it hard to belive that summer is almost here.
Whenever I think of summer I think of the beach.
I don´t live anywhere near the ocean. I have in the
past and I miss the sea air, the carefree atmosphere
that seems to abound near the water and all that
bright sunshine.

Today I painted a miniature watercolor of my
favorite beach.

What are your memories of summers gone by?

This is my entry for Crazy Amigos, One Layer Wednesday,

Want to brighten up your day with vibrant color?



Nature presents us with beautiful color
everyday....just look around.

One of my favorite displays of color is
the exotic bird.
This card is made using feathers from
two beauties like these pictured below.



Polly want a cracker?
Color doesn´t get any better than this does it?
I found these two on a foto search here.
Want a color overload,,,just google and type
in parrot fotos.

Sunday Sketches


Mango Fool

I am busy working on lots of projects but I had to take a
break today and add my thumbnail sketch to
and



I wanted to post this sketch when the
watercolor painting was finished. I did not
want Anneke to see this at such an early stage
but it is also a plug for the Mango Fool dessert,,,
which by the way is quite tasty.


I have until Tuesday ...so I better get back
to work here on this beautiful Sunday
in paradise.

Flower Garden IV


Pink and Brown

Here is card number four in my watercolor
Flower Garden series.
Under the button cluster is a spray of
white vellum leaves and I used up some of
my patterned papers for the stripes.
You can click on the foto to enlarge it.


Three small punched circles were then
added along the bottom edge
and the large flower center is accented with
heavy body white acrylic paint. You can also
click on the foto for more detail.

You can see the first three cards in the series
by clicking here.

It just happens to be a Pink and Brown week
over at Theme Thursday...so this fits right in.

Wishing you all a sunny weekend.
