Go Ahead and Smile

 You know you are somebody´s reason to smile don´t you.....

 It is always a good thing to bring a smile to somebody´s face.

 It makes life that much more enjoyable.

These are some of the birthday cards I made for October.  I know a lot of  people who had

their birthday´s in October.....

Are you an October baby?

I am a January girl myself.....what month were you born in?

I am sharing this with Mandarin Orange Monday.

Autumn out my patio door.

We are having unseasonably sunny November weather lately.

Hope you are all having a nice Sunday in your part of the world.

I am sharing this with Tina´s Picture Story ,,,a piece of heaven.

Under the Covers

I know you know that feeling when in the middle of the night

something goes bump.....

I went to look. 

 whew....

what a relief!

It was just Lars.  He thinks he owns the joint.

I turned on the lights.

Something was fishy though.

I felt like he was trying to hide something from me and he looked 

really guilty.

I knew something was up so I thought I better have a look

under the covers.

SURE ENOUGH!!

Caught red handed. 

My bookcase is always a mess.

Now I know why.

I thought he´d atleast be reading about his true love Goldilocks

but instead he is reading up on watercolors.

Smart bear!!

If you love watercolors and painting as much as Lars does then 

stay tuned.

Lars is sponsoring an autumn giveaway of some art magazines and

an art book. You won´t want to miss it.

I am sharing this with Mandarin Orange Monday.

Lars just told me he wants to throw in some German chocolate too.

Watch for it this week.

Farmer´s Market

A sunny autumn day at the local market.

Saving my whites in watercolor.

Adding more colors and defining my objects.

I shared this piece with Daily Paintworks this week.

I am also sharing it with Paint Party Friday and

Artists in Blogland.

What have you been up to this week....besides eating

a lot of leftover Halloween candy?

After this was posted to Blogger I see the horrific glare from

my scanner.....yikes! I hope you had your sunglasses on when

viewing...but saving whites in watercolor will blind you sometimes.

Countryside

A few views from a much larger watercolor of

the countryside around where I live.

This is a stream that runs by my favorite

rock area. This was painted this past Autumn

when all the grass started turning a wonderful

indian yellow.

A little further away....as it would be viewed in real life...standing back from the piece.

This is one of the many pumpkin watercolors I have been working on for the last two weeks.

Wishing all those who celebrate Halloween,,,,have a happy one and don´t eat too much candy.
