I am so super stoked and it’s all happening with ‘ease and grace”.  My motto for a long time now………

This is an original that I will offer for sale for the first time at the show.  All matted and framed up.

“Sugar”  in the Apple Orchard Meadow

and then I can  include my first “Ponies in the Meadow”

“Ponies in the Meadow” on my mac

as an incredible laminated WaterColor giclee any size.  Maybe bigger than I’ve done before, like maybe an 16×20 or something close.

sooooo  many choices to choose from.

Lots of prep to do to make it the best I can be.  35 days and counting.

I have a 10×10 wall space to hang my art and make a lasting impression.

If you have suggestions, please feel free to fess up, k?  I would love it….

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.

I’ve been so, so busy working in town, building our second dome, starting mini-gardens and PAINTING…..

All my life I’ve been heading here, dreaming of here, manifesting my life here, and painting what I love:

So now all she needs is to get her picture taken by Barry Norris Studio, a world class professional  printing studio,

"Sugar" in the Springtime Orchard

along with his sister “Springtime She Cardinal”  so prints can be numbered or not.  Not sure what the  pros and cons of all that are just yet.

Won’t be long and if you would like to purchase either painting, please let me know through my email here on my etsy links and I will take $25. off either or both if you purchase both at the same time., original painting when you mention this comment (first come first serve).
