5 minute watercolor flowers

I've discovered this fabulous blog    Art Du Jour by Martha Lever.  She offers online Calligraphy classes which I plan to sign up today.  While looking through her wonderful blog, I notices that she has some YouTube videos and one of them is "How to paint 5 minute flowers."    The technique is so simple...just dropping in colors to create flower pots of flowers.  The technique is so easy that it would lend itself to doing all types of 5 minute watercolors.  So if you have a moment go visit her blog...it's worth the visit.

working with lines

This week in Alisa's class were working on line drawings, minus color.  I rarely work in black and white and this a good exercise in trying to capture the subject.

Sophie my muse

Sophie is my love of my life and muse.  She is my last Cavalier King Charles Spaniel I have.  Each day she brings me love, joy, and devotion.
Sophie is by my side all day and night.  She keeps me company when I paint.
