another red head

it seems when i get to the point where i do not want to, or don't have the desire to paint , i drag out the paper, pen and watercolours.......this is a 15 minute sketch and color......i have a limited palette of watercolours that i use when i am sitting around watching tv.......that is why i turn out all these red heads.......i surprise myself with these sketches....some of them turn out pretty good.....i think.....

flora's class progress

some progress in flora's class.........the 5 weeks of class was amazing.....i really enjoyed it and will take with me some wonderful moments........as you see, i am still not close to being finished with my paintings......many layers to come .......our goal was to learn the process, the amazing process that will stay with me forever.......

the 1st canvas pictured is now the bottom canvas..........for a while........

Spring is about here....yippeee

a few pictures i took today as i enjoyed our beautiful north carolina weather.....it was in the high 60's today and it was glorious.......rosemary is in bloom, red maples are budding, old red wagon waiting for pots of flowers and the garden area is tilled and planted with potatoes and onions this year.......we allow a neighbor, who is an organic farmer, use this part of our property to plant some of his veggies......and we benefit from it by having all the organic veggies we need all year long.....how lucky are we.....
