Happy Weekend Coming Soon!
I decided to pick up some more fresh flowers on Saturday at the Farmer’s Market!
The purple gladiolas were the prettiest.
But Elizabeth always wants the purple ones
Pretty Bouquet!
I also thought the orange ones were beautiful and had to get a few of those as well.
I love the shape of the gladiola petals.
And I had to ask the lady what this was-I absolutely love the colors and the shape and the squiggly lines. It’s Cockscomb.
She gave me some for free because she saw that my bouquet didn’t have any in it.
I was fine with that!
Happy Thursday! (PS. Long weekend coming soon 
My Basil is finally coming back to life after a fierce bunny attack.
I love the leaves.
Succulents and Hydrangeas.
I love the blooming flowers.
They look like little purple stars.
So pretty.
I love the color of the hydrangea flowers this time of year.
With the hint of purple.
And finally-pink geraniums!
Love <3
Happy Wednesday!
So, last weekend I started this. Donna Downey’s Canvas Create August workshop (The link to Canvas Create is in the sidebar of my blog). And I loved how it was working out (except for a brief outburst with Hansa Yellow Light, but it was removed from the painting and all is well.) This is how I left the painting last Saturday afternoon.
After letting the painting sit all week, I was ready to get back to work on Saturday morning. And I LOVE how it turned out.
Every class, I swear it is Donna’s best taught workshop. And this one was no different. She makes it seem so easy. And the results are amazing.
And it was all done with our fingers. (Except for the stems and the outlines-I used a brush for that).
I love creating a new canvas every month and learning new techniques! Thank you, Donna!
Happy Monday!
As part of the “Ode to Nature” class, I took a little bit of time over the weekend to paint a pine cone that I grabbed while we were golfing last weekend in Peoria.
It’s my first pine cone. Not sure how I feel about it yet.
Happy Wednesday!
Happy First Day of High School Bryan!
(Can’t you tell how excited he is?!)
Happy First Day of Being a Senior, William!
(He is a little more excited).
And he’s already wearing his senior t-shirt!
After they came home from school, I even got Elizabeth into the photos
Happy First Day of Back to before and after care, Elizabeth
We love you, Bryan! You’re going to do great! Happy Tuesday and first day of School Day!
