Played in the dirt and it was warm!

Terra Cotta Trio

Had several days of nice weather so I was outside digging in the dirt with my sister.
She loves working in the garden. We dug up all the Iris and thinned them, got rid of some weeds, moved a few bulbs, planted some new bulbs, and threw some seed around.

We even did some of this work in the rain. Unearthed a little newt. He might have been napping. Had to rinse him off a bit to get him to move to a safer location.

Today I added a few Penny jump ups to the bed. I really hope they spread...I adore their happy little faces! SHHHH don't tell the orchids :D

Monday Morning...NEED COFFEE

CELEBRATE Spring

Celebrate

We have enjoyed a few days of mild temperatures and SUNSHINE so best to celebrate Spring!

I'm off to take pictures of the blooming trees and bulbs to help me make it through our next batch of rainy days (and get a few reference photos for more watercolors).

I've been so excited about the past few days with SUN...I'm already thinking about summer! :D

Spring PLEASE

Dutch Tulips 4
This tulip reminds me of sunny Spring days and I hope they are on the way!
(Both the sunny days and the tulips :D )

This little painting is a tribute to Olga, an artist/photographer from wet canvas.
Olga traveled in Europe and shared many photos with the wet canvas community. I've enjoyed her canal shots in Venice and so many wonderful windows from everywhere.
I found a few Dutch Tulip shots and will attempt to paint them in her honor.

These white tulips look so pristine, I couldn't resist adding them to the series.

A tulip with petals like lilies, in vibrant colors. I can't wait. The tulips aren't blooming at my home, yet.

Happy to say I painted today, if even just a little bit!
