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!

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.

Hold Over?

Safe Harbor

Haven't held a brush in such a long while, I'm hoping this will hold me over for just a few more days...
I was matting and framing some of my work to strew about locally and ran across this in the closet. It was already matted and sealed in a clear envelope - just like it was destined to be sent somewhere.

I was so pleased to find it - like a lost child.

It moved me to cut some full sheets to quarters so I can begin again when all my obligations are met.

Wish I stopped...

...long before I got to this point.
I am disappointed that the background has washed out all the colors in the white flowers.

But, I am still learning, isn't that great?

In the works

Gradually growing into larger work, this one is 12 x 16 in progress and will be matted at 11 x 15 give or take. Need to decide on a background and I'm not sure how dark I want to go. I like a mid value background so I can play with a cast shadow but a deep color would surely make the white orchids pop!


If you have an opinion, comment and share it. I'd love to hear your ideas.
