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.  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.

 

Rain, Springtime and Blossoms

April 19, 2011

I really want to blog these days, but my brain has been blank.

It rained here last night, a good rain.  It has been a very dry winter in North Eastern New Mexico.  Tons of acres of fires have been happening big time down in Eastern and Southern New Mexico, since like February.  This rain was really nice.  It lasted for awhile and soaked the ground pretty well.

This morning one of my first questions to my honey was “Did it rain enough to leave puddles?”  No was the answer, but that’s ok.  This rain was more moisture than we’ve had for a while.  I’m so glad spring is finally coming.

Yesterday I went with my honey on bidding a tile job and this was down in town, which is 1500 ft lower in elevation.  Lots of things, well lots more than up here, are starting to bud and bloom out..

and then I played around with a few beautiful shots that weren’t quite in focus

and this next one down had a little bumblebee flying straight to an open flower with a beautiful black shadowed background and yet the bee and bud were in the light. so I turned it into a little photoshop watercolor

I have started to add these to my Etsy Shop, so if you see something that you would like as a photograph, just let me know either here in a comment or over on my etsy site in a conversation.

Thanks for coming by.

I’m kinda in numb mode, I’m so flattered

I have just been invited to a phone interview on Monday to a Blog called faboverfifty.com and I don’t even know how to feel, other than very, very flattered. Sara loves my watercolors and my photography. WOWZA….❤ ❦ ❧

One Exquisite Peony Blossom

February 18, 2011

One Exquisite Peony Blossom, originally uploaded by newmexicomtngirl.

really love my watercolors, well not everyone I’ve ever painted, but you don’t see those. But I have to say that I am as in love with this single bloom now as the day I painted it many years ago. I still have the original painting, which is a whole bouquet of fuchsia, honeysuckle, pink peonies and yellow tulips. I can’t part with that AT all. So here is a little tease, a little taste of exquisite Love.
