Spring Postcards?

Bid Here

I had a blast with my spray bottle 

and postcards.

The rain was back 

off and on 

I didn't mind ignoring the weather

and playing with some bright spots!

Escape the grey...

Cherry Blossoms 

 Spring Floral Abstract

At Bay

I may have to keep the blinds closed
to avoid the great grey spring weather
Rain is on the menu again
or yet

I choose to ignore it all ;)

Postcards from home...

morning on the columbia

or

fishing for supper

Daffodils

right out of the yard

a little farm

in Spring

Didn't go anywhere again...

more postcards from my neck of the woods.

Coming Down...

 I haven't gone anywhere lately 

at least not anywhere with a good view

so I decided to paint

a couple postcards

to make me feel like I'd been away.

I love this paper and when I found a block of postcards,

I was thrilled.

Ready for a note and address, too!

a new job?

Forest Ranger

Hope he's nearby so he can stop in to visit ;-)

cold, rainy and grey here so...

Spring on Paper

is the only answer!

Change of Pace...

Milkmaid

clipped from a Vermeer

by way of tribute

NO it's not a self portrait! 

(I never wear a hat)

Weather - or not

 Rough Seas

Stormy Weather

The weather has been wild the past week
this is where I went :D

A Simpler Life

Pulled these out of the print tray

can't imagine using a hook to pull my laces and tie my shoes

Loved the quote on the other tool...."smart footwear"

wonder if it's as smart as my phone?
Can you imagine using that to button up your shoes or boots?

Have a stash of nifty little tools - like bottle openers, 

that were given out as promotional items.

Oh Yay! I painted today...

a Birthday card 

the weather was sunny and warm and I found some energy 

it was just laying around not being used

:D

more paper play

 Unryu paper with fibers colored with WN watercolors and some iridescent watercolors added for lights.

Attached to masa paper to give it some stability.

Cut to make an ACEO "blank"

Chinese brush with hand ground ink for the orchid. 

The color, texture and bits of iridescent color really pleased me.

fern

dragonfly

cut and paste?

 a new shredder option?

maybe this will be a good background for something else...

stuck to a solid piece of paper for a little added strength

Right now this piece is under a stack of books to help it settle down.

Will trim and try a little drawing on top.

How to take a piece that I'm unhappy with and turn it into something else...

woven with a little Zen

Not the best strata for a pen drawing - the paper kept snagging the pen at the weave joints. I added some iridescent watercolor to pop up the design.  I prefer the look of the woven paper left alone - where the effects of the watercolor on paper show.
