For those of you who are curious how to draw and paint flowers, I came across these videos on Botanical Drawing and Painting by Wendy Hollander.  I use some of her techniques in my own work.

Enjoy.

"Fall" Garden Beauty

 "Garden Bench in the Fall"

I always anticipate Fall with my birthday, the holidays we celebrate, the cooler temperatures and the beautiful, warm, vibrant colors seen in nature.  This is a small watercolor, colored pencil and ink painting I completed and attached to a greeting card.  The scene made me think of a quiet place one could sit and reflect on life.  A place to be still and know God was right there during the busy Summer months, and wonder what the future might bring.


You are welcome to share:
What is your favorite place to quietly sit?


Until next time.
Many Blessings,

Solomon and Sheba-our newest family members

Solomon is on the Left, Sheba on the Right
They were waiting for the backdoor to open, thinking
who's going to let them inside.

These puppies, twin brother and sister were dumped off at our home over 2 months ago.  They have been really a blessing and fun most of the time, but as puppies require lots of attention.

Solomon's sisters name is Sheba.

So this morning I saw one of our new Chocolate Lab puppies, Solomon, who is 6 months old chewing on a new bone.

It felt good to fill the page with something fun and memorable.  Will see what catches my eye for the next sketch.

Until Next Time.
Many Blessings, 
Laurie
