Garden Pond With Flowers

Garden Pond With Birds & Flowers
This spring we had a robin’s nest attached to the 
front porch light on our house. 
There were four baby birds inside the nest.
It kept mommy and daddy robin very busy
feeding and protecting their young.
I watched as the adult birds took turns 
sitting on the shepherds hook 
in our flower garden. 
One of them would sit there all day
keeping a watchful eye on their nest,
while the other would be attending to the babies 
or out in search of food.
This loving scene inspired me to paint a new notecard.

New Bird Series
I never stopped painting,
I just took a break from posting.

Black-capped Hummingbird

Black-capped Hummingbird
This is another painting that I just finished.
When using them for greeting cards
I leave some empty space so that I 
have room to add my salutation.  

Butterfly Painting

Butterfly on Garden Flowers
I just finished this watercolor painting.
The little  butterfly was busy landing on 
 my pretty flowers so I grabbed my camera
to take a few reference photos.
It does pay to keep your camera handy!
  

Zentangle Daisy


Zentangle Daisy
As you can see
I am trying to learn how to
do a new form of art 
called Zentangle.
It's  a fun way to practice your
drawing skills and be creative.
Anyone who loves to doodle
should give it a try.

Barn Painting

Barn Painting
I spotted this barn 
while driving along 
a country road and thought it would
be a wonderful subject
for a painting. 
I made some artistic changes
 to the color of the barn siding, stone foundation 
and background trees ...
and this is how it turned out. 
On the actual greeting cards, I glued on 
a few handmade fall colored leaves
 around the oval mat. 
  

Still Life Watercolor Painting

Delicious Apples Still Life
I decided to try my hand at painting this
bowl full of delicious apples.
It didn't turn out too bad for
my first still life. 
Keep watching ...
as I learn and improve!
