And Another One-Liner

Evidently I'm in one-liner mode.  There's not much time for bigger projects because I've been consumed with getting ready for a ROAD TRIP!!  Oh Yeah!!  I'm leaving the boys behind and going jaunting with my girl friends.  Arizona...desert skies...desert colors...desert temperatures...

I hope to sketch and plein air paint A LOT.  We'll see!

Summer!  FULL summer!  Not that hesitant, iffy, still-snowing-sometimes kind of summer that we seem get in the mountains.   Full-blown, hot, baking-sun summer.  That's what we've finally got, with a fantastic thunder storm thrown in every other day, just for entertainment.  I love variety in weather!  It's just evidence that God is amazing.

This watercolor is little, measuring only 6" square.  I gave it to a friend of mine.  And for the record...we ATE the vegetables.  Shocking, but true.

Red Peonies

I drew this last  night while we sat and watched it rain and rain and rain.  Our exceedingly dry land was drinking it in.  And it smelled SO GOOD!  I am often astounded at God's kindness in creating smells...and color...and our senses to appreciate both.

Today I go back to "work" to finish one of the canvases at Community Church.  Note to self:  take the camera!

How Now Brown Cow?

What do you do on a cold, snowy day in May?  It's too cold in the garage, where my sort-of-studio is.  So there's no painting being done.  Instead you sit in a warm cozy house, listening to the snow-thunder, and draw till the cows come home!

AAAHHHH.....Spring!

 

SPRING IS HERE!  Well, according to the calendar, it is.  And it doesn't really matter what the weather is doing...in years past we've had blizzards on the first day of spring.  Just seeing the words on March 20th that say "Spring Begins" fills me with joy.  Even though the ground will be rock hard for at LEAST another month, I have hope!

This is a tiny watercolor I painted about a year and a half ago.  Wobbly poppy stems make me happy, for some reason.

A Tiny Set

Blue Bells, Red Bells, Purple Bells, and Yellow Bells

I loved  painting these!  I can never quite figure out which color is my favorite.  Each one is a watercolor that measures 6" square.  One of these days I'll have them framed as a set.  Right now they're just hanging out in my portfolio between sheets of tracing paper.

Which is your favorite?

(ok, today I like the purple bells the best).
