Blueberry Delight

 I have been having so much fun in my classes....painting and photography.  Lots of action around

here.  I know I have been quiet on the blogging front but I have been making lots of art.

I am presently working on two blueberry watercolors.  They are both in the first washes.

 Here is the second one.  

Yes, I know they look VERY pink but that will all even itself out

as I apply more washes. 

 I am painting these two in pure watercolor.  You will understand

why as you  keep on reading this post.

 This is a watercolor and gouache with ink that I did this past summer.  I kept applying thin layers of

white gouache around the edges until I liked the blurrrrrrr....mainly because I did not like the fact that

I painted it to death with the gouache.  Gouache does that to me once in awhile so I just faded it out 

and left a focal point and of course, added a digital frame. 

 Another one.....watercolors and wax pastel.  Again using  white gouache in the periphery

This one is gouache and wax pastel and yes, you guessed it......white gouache in the periphery here too.

I had fun experimenting with mixing my mediums.

I am sharing this with Paint Party Friday and Nature Footstep.

Hope you are doing well and having a good start to your week.

Roses

I had some time to make some bookmarks. 

Roses are one of my favorite flowers.

 A Pink, Green and Gray color combination.

I used Art Journey stamps with watercolor and finished them off with pen and ink.

A few more detail shots.

If you would like one of these rose bookmarks,,,,leave me a comment

and  my assistant will pick a name next week and send one to you.

I am sharing this with the Art Journey Design Team.

Shoes

The Perfect Pair of Shoes

I have to admit that I have a thing for well-designed, good

fitting shoes.

This quote from Quiet Fire Design says it all.

This is my entry to Crazy Amigos.

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.

Outside my window I see many different

flowers....all in beautiful bloom.

I stamped a flower and doodled a frame

with my trusty pilot pen.
