Original Watercolors...


For years I have promised original watercolor paintings~
With our sweet Alaina's help...
I'm going to begin selling small originals!


I am blessed~ My "daily work" is a joy!
Deadlines have been keeping me happily busy!
Yet... It's so much FUN to play!!!

These wild lawn Violets caught my creativity yesterday...
I couldn't stop painting them!


Their sweet little faces in my beginning sketches...


I start all of my paintings with soft, clean lines...


They were getting thirsty with all that posing!
Our window sills are filled with antique ink wells,
vintage bottles & little blossoms...
Touches of color...


Sometimes I paint the blossom first...
Sometimes the greens!


I love how the light dances on the leaves~


I will share a link to the auctions/sales
when our girl has them ready to go~ 
Just in case you would like an original watercolor of mine!

Hope your day is filled with little "wild" (but sweet) surprises!

    Wild violets are my very favorite! I love them so much. I lay on the ground whenever I see them, just to smell their sweet fragrance!
    And yours are just beautiful. Can't wait for them to become available!

    I love the flowers! Just beautiful! I also wanted to mention, I finally did a "Thank you" for the giveaway. It's on today's post, and it links back to your blog and your Etsy shop. I love the acorns so much! Thank you again!
