yellow rose sketch with my watercolors

on an afternoon was we were listening to coast-to-coast

my new Yellow Rose blossom

I love, love, love yellow roses.

Back 30 years ago as of July 24, 1982, when we brought our first son home from the hospital, my yellow rose was blooming and I fell in love with this color.

My favorite yellow that I just adore is the yellow that is tinged with pink on the edges, but it seems a little harder to find. This is a Knockout from Wal-Mart, and it’s just yellow, but such a wonderful rich lemon yellow that changes to white as it stays open. And the scent is just heavenly and fragrant, A little spicy and yet sweet too. At first I wanted the yellow to last longer, but the more I grow it the more the white grows on me too. Perfect for a moon garden. Seems to be doing pretty well with a little rose food and moisture. So out came my watercolours, just to sketch, not necessarily produce a finished painting.

and I tried another one with a darker background, but lost my momentum

I hope you enjoy and have a wonderful day.

I have lots of original watercolor paintings, finished and everything, on my etsy shop along with beautiful photographs.

Pansy Watercolor Sketch and not surfing the web…..as much

newmexicomtngirl — Sun, 05 Jun 2011 15:19:32 +0000

Finally, I’m posting something. I come over here all fired up and inspired to post what I/we’ve been up too and I get sidetracked by everyone else’s wonderful posts and paintings and updates…….. I love it, but I find I don’t get any of my creativeness out there. I really have to learn how to budget my computer-time better. I have been really good about not surfing so much and turning this dang thing OFF. I have been getting out into the garden and yard earlier in the am now. Now that it is actually getting warmer and sometimes even hot. So the other day after digging a hole for one of our pond liners, I decided to paint….. Yes you heard me right I actually picked up my paint brushes, instead of my camera or Mac, and I did a simple quick sketch, without drawing first……

pansy sketch

painting, finally

I have many others to share, but I really should turn this thing off and get on with my day.

peace n abundance,

I have been really thinking of starting another blog and using Blogger.com because they have tons of artists and its easy to follow their blogs. But I just can not commit and the reason is their comment process. So many times and I really wish all my fellow bloggers that use blogger, know how many comments you miss because Blogger makes it so hard to process a simple comment without jumping thru a million hoops. All to leave words of encouragement, or kudos, or just a hello, nice to find your site. But not with Blogger.com I was just now making a comment and when I got to the post comment part I used wordpress and accedently hit the return key before everything was typed in and my whole comment vanished before I even realised what had happened.. I know I should have been paying more attention, but come on, this happens more times than not. yuck

Here is the subject that another Blogger was posting about and how fun her post was. A beautiful wooden chair that had been in the family forever, she had inherited it and painted it shiny black with pink and orange stripe cushions. How fun,….. so I thought I would post a scan of a sketch I did of my favorite chair years ago.

My Green Chair

Now I need to go back and find that post. Wish me luck

RedBubble is where you can find this sketch in post cards, prints, canvas’ and even posters.

How about this one? I darkened it in photoshop
