this image isn’t perfect and it’s not clickable, but hopefully you get the idea of  some of the awesome art over there.  Hopefully you will check it out, please spread the link and comment if you please.  The more clicks and view it gets, the more likely it would get noticed for the front page of Etsy.

And if you feel like buying I know the artist would greatly appreciate it

orange on purple

Finally, I got my new seedlings in the ground.  All my calif. poppies are planted in a couple different small beds. and one pot of 6 Morning Glories are in two different places (6 more to go)

Heavenly Blue Morning Glory

Got our sweet little grocery store rose transplanted from it’s first bed of the year to I hope, it’s permanent  home.

Little White Roses watercolor original painting

And moved the Black Widow and her old beat-up bucket (that I collected, just for the alter) FINALLY!!!  Black Widows just freak me out, but i can’t help it and I really try not to kill them (if I can help it).  I don’t have a photo of one of them, but I know what they look like.

if you like any of the photos they are avaiable on my Red Bubble site for sale in all different sizes and kinds. And the original painting is avaible on my etsy store.  Thank you for looking

One day last week, while with a friend, I was reminded of a blessing I was taught by a another wonderful friend named Ken:

“Riches

of all sorts

flow easily into my

life

from expected and unexpected

sources….”

Within months of believing and saying this over and again, to myself, I met my mate, Len, 4 years ago this month.  When times are different  I think of this blessing and say it outloud.    I also write it down for friends.

So …. talking with my friend last week I wrote one out for her and I started using it again.  And I have sold my watercolours.  First there was one:

Linda’s Rose #3


A friend named Jane saw my link to FaceBook and didn’t know I painted, loved them, asked when we could meet up, and bought 2 more:

Little Bunch of California Poppies


and also she just had to have a pony painting (horses):

Ponies in the Meadow


She’s in the Animal Business of training horses, dogs and consults about dolphins.  Check out her web site sometime.

So I’ve been using this wonderful blessing:

“Riches

of all sorts

flow

easily into my life

from

expected and unexpected

sources”.

Today as I’m leaving our grocery store I see Jane again and she wants another ‘Linda’s Rose’.

Yeah and thank you so very much……..

Peace n Abundance,

Golondrina of San Cristobal, NM watercolor

April 4, 2010

I took a photo of this a couple of springs ago when we lived in San Cristobal, New Mexico, right down the road from here in north eastern NM.

and I’ve always wanted to put it into watercolor.  I tried playing with it in Photoshop, but it never turned out quite like I pictured it ( so I put it on the back burner).

UNTIL Now, heck I hadn’t picked up my watercolor brushes for quite some time.

Let me know what you think  I love others critiques.

Also I’m really loving this paper for watercolor painting as well. Lets you play more with the paint without it getting  all muddy and it drys super quick so these are superfast originals as well.
