Copetona

Just a little more and she will be ready

When first I saw her this morning

I was captured in her glance

As I gazed upon her world

I began to see with mine own eyes

All there was to see

in the flat river valley below

El Salto in north-eastern New Mexico

and I am for-ever grateful.  Thank you

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

my new Yellow Rose blossom

I love, love, love yellow roses.  When my husband (at the time) and I brought our first son home from the hospital, my yellow rose was blooming and I fell in love with this color.  I really adore 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.  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.

Yeehaw.  Now I need to get to painting, my originals are getting low.  I did some sketches on Yupo today.  I’ll let you know when I finish them.

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

Peace n Abundance,

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.

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

“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,

so this is a close up view.  The original is for sale over @ my etsy shop if you want to check it out.

Don’t forget Mother’s Day is coming.  I can paint any flower you might want for Mom.
