This is a work in progress. Sharing it with you, so I can also share this reminder.
“Whether You Think You Can or Can’t, You’re Right” – Henry FordI put off starting this for about five days. I had myself convinced that I could not draw a bee, much less paint one. Too many complicated, teeny, tiny, little parts. But guess what, I think I painted a pretty damn fine bee. I will tell you all about her soon.
Happy Monday to you!

This is a quick project for a friend. Art for her guest bath. She requested red, and there is more red than pink, just doesn’t look that way in these images. The pink is actually a mix of magenta and copper, and it is much deeper, and only slightly metallic.
I painted these with twigs and an embossing tool on four scraps of watercolor paper. Watercolor, acrylic, pen, and collage. When they were dry, I used a stencil for the heart shapes. The bits that look brown, are actually copper and I wish you could see the light they add. I cut out words from a magazine. Happy, home, love and family, sweethearts, playful.
The frames are a mock-up, close to what she has, I was just curious. These are 4 x 6. I think they are going to look very nice. Have a great night, and enjoy tomorrow!
A couple of weeks ago I worked on sunflowers for a friend in the UK, and my cousin Edrynn in New Mexico. I mailed them on the same day, in the same size envelope and somehow, Pauline received hers first. Things that make you go Hmm.
These were a surprise, but I can share them with you now. Here is the sunflower now residing in New Mexico. I included the poppies after a conversation with Pauline where she mentioned that they were her sisters favorite flower. You can see Pauline’s sunflower here.
Happy Friday evening everyone! Enjoy the weekend!
