WIP Wednesday and a very random thing that made me smile


more work in progress 15 x 20 watercolor

First of all thank you so much for all of your wonderful, heartfelt comments from my previous post. You guys are the best. :) Thank you.

Second, I've made some progress with this WIP. I was hoping to be finished by now, but I'm not quite there yet. It's coming along though. I like the warm colors in this piece, and that very different green apple. 

Third, sometimes you just really need something to make you smile you know?

Yes, of course you do.

That's why when I saw this:



I just knew I had to share it with any fellow sugar junkies out there.

You're welcome. :)

And last of all, I started a Facebook Fan page for my art and would be honored if you wanted to come and 'like' me. The widget is on the side of my blog.

Thanks everyone!

Until Friday.

Huzzah!!

  7. Took the ingredients over to my grand children last weekend for them to make chocolate cupcakes and after dinner they served me tea and cake. Delightful. Your previous post was heart warming that out of grief for a friend, you were able to show more love than ever to your family. We should all learn this lesson to demonstrate our love as often as possible. Thanks for the reminder. BTW beautiful artwork in both posts.

  8. I love the expression on the child's face! This is going to be another wonderful painting!

    I did the FB thing wrong. First I "friended" you. Then I figured out how to do the "like". So if you want to ignore the friend request, that's ok. You may keep your "friend" list more private, and I totally understand!

  15. This painting is going to be another gorgeous one! And I can't wait to see your landscape! I have painted the garden, covered in snow (my style) and then did a couple of very quick watercolours as my tutor would like - loose! Hmmm... Dare I post them?
