FLOWERS FOR CARDS... Watercolor

Just playing around with some flowers to be used for cards...

The poppy and lillies are from a photo of Kathryns yard last year...

Califorina poppies are such a beauiful color with the blue sky...

Notice the "PEN ACTION" on these paintings..

I like to do this when I feel the picture "needs" some attention...

Thanks for checking the blog...

Volunteer Tulips...

This circle of tulips have been coming up in the front yard on their own for many years ... It started with about 6 flowers and has grown to this... Last year I stuck in the pink ones...

They are no trouble, but pleasing to the eye from the road...

I just love the spring flowers.

Maybe try painting this next week..

SPRING THING MYSTERY TRIP..March 2010

OUR SPRING THING MYSTERY TRIP led us to WILSON RANCHES RETREAT just north of Fossil, Oregon...Through the rain, hail, snow, sleet, and a bit of sunshine, we traveled around the country side of north central Oregon...With 6 VW THINGS and 15 THINGERS, we had a memorable time... Highlights included the PAINTED HILL, searching for fossils, hiking, and riding horses and a whole lot of laughing...

"Ride 'em cowboys" and girls......











Fossil Court House

Sunrise from the back deck of the house...

The host of the Ranch, Phil and Nancy Wilson, provided great breakfasts, interesting stories, and history of family and ranch life....I highly recommend a stay at the ranch for peace, beauty, and good company...Check their site at.... wilsonranchesretreat.com

PRETTY PANSY..Watercolor...9 X 12

This week we worked, once again, in watercolor....Kathryn had given me a book by Birgit O'Connor called WATERCOLOR IN MOTION....Not only is the book informative, but the DVD was very intersting.. Was impressed with the vast amount of water Birgit uses in her painting...It is always good for me to learn different methods of painting...

I enjoyed this painting...Am going on our Spring VW THING vacation so it will be awhile before anything new appears on the blog.....

Thank you for taking the time to view my work...
