Watercolor Joy!

The yard will have to wait this morning...

Grumpy and hungry little black flies have arrived!

More time to "play" with my new Yellow & Blue Watercolor~

When my husband prepares our vegetable garden each Spring~

We're on the lookout for little china treasures!

Stop the tiller!!! I see a shard!!!

(When painting flow blue in watercolor, begin with details & strong pigment)

(Allow the blue details to dry completely...

Add taupe & cream washes & the water will naturally "flow")

I think we have found 6-7 different china patterns in our back gardens~

Our Robin's are so cheery!

They have the most beautiful blue eggs~

Sweet friends build their nests where this short gal can peek inside!

(This is not a Robin's nest...)

From my "windy day collection!"

I found it on the ground near our hedgerow a few years ago.

It took me just as long to paint this little home as it did for our

sweet little feathered friends to build it!

Hair by hair.

Fine root, thin grasses... but mostly horse/animal hair.

I know, I know...

Yellow + Blue = PERFECT!

Yellow + Blue = Green... except in this painting!

Yellow stays yellow.

Blue stays blue.

I thought it was a cute way to name this piece and

one of my favorite color combinations!

Hope your Friday is off to a perfect start~
