Watermelon

A summertime treat just begs to be painted. I did this in my watercolor practice journal

Avacado

My first attempt at an avacado.

Happy Independence Day

My day of practicing "Trees".

The Good The Bad and the Ugly

My first attempt at writing a watercolor journal. It really is a practice journal and I messed up on my first page. I did have a lot of fun.

My Watercolor Journal

I have been trying to learn to paint rocks. I'll keep painting until I've got it. I haven't "got it" yet.

This is an old piece of barnsiding. I mounted a vase on it with copper wire and added the silk flower. The barnsiding reminds me of my love for old barns.

This is where I paint. I look out that window and try to duplicate nature. Did I tell you that I love watercolors!

I painted this from a painting instruction book. I know that I am not very good but I am getting better. I'm having trouble keeping the light and not overworking a painting. Any advice?

Baby Quilts for Charity

I love to sew and I make these baby quilts for charity.

Guitar Purse for Lexi

I made this Guitar purse for my Grandaughter Lexi a couple of years ago.

Floorcloth

I made this floorcloth from a remnent of flooring I bought at Lowes. I used the back side which is much like a canvas and acrylic paint. It is stenciled.

My Glass Birdbath

This is a birdbath I made from Goodwill vases and a plate. I used silicone caulk to glue it all together.

Gazing Ball

This is my gazing ball made from A bowling ball, silicone caulk and glass blobs. It is for my garden

Painting of The House

Here it is. I want to paint it again because I want to do some things differently.

Alexis and Aaron are coming to visit

It's Tuesday morning and my grandchildren are coming for a visit. I haven't seen them for awhile and I am very excited. It's raining and I hope it stops so that Lexie is not driving in the rain. I know that she is a good driver but I'm a grandma and I worry. (It's my job) I'm going to turn on the pool heater soon and warm up the pool so that we can swim.

This is my latest painting of the inside of a barn. I have been painting for about 4 months and I am improving. I want to paint well and I want to paint my childhood memories. I can make them prettier than they were. How cool is that?

Summertime-The Hybiscus is blooming

I know that it's summer when the Hybiscus blooms. I buy one every year because I'm not good at wintering them. They die here in Indiana in the snow. I am in the process of painting this flower so we will see how it goes.

Fried Green Tomatoes

I planted 2 tomato plants and I now have 6. 4 plants are volunteer from last years crop. I think I will have plenty of tomatoes since DH doesn't eat them. I bought that new liquid plant food that you put on your hose and I feel like Jack in the Beanstalk!

Home Sweet Home

This is the house my family lived in many years ago. I want to paint it!
