A Few More...

Looking for a tropical island paradise? Here's a lagoon, some volcanic mountains and a little grass shack on the water. Island retreat on a little piece of paper :D







Monkey
These flowers grow in the meadows of the Cascades. This little pink version reminds me of my little monkey.

Little Things Along the Way

Lily White
I've been having such a difficult time finishing projects I decided to do a few small works while the large projects are in progress.









Little Villa 1

At least I get a sense of accomplishment from finishing little paintings.












Royal Purple

It helps to stave off the urge to hurry the large work and create a mess by not waiting for the paint to dry.












Little Villa 2


Plus I don't fall into the trap of working on the same thing for so long I get bored with it before it's finished.

Little Villa

A special request...a tiny little escape!

Easter Greetings

Well this just rolled right into painting Easter Greeting cards...a few more and I'll be ready to mail them.

Anticipation

Pair

It must have been the digging, dividing and replanting that got me anticipating the Irises. It's a good thing. Now I'm painting a few Easter cards and the Irises work for that format, too.

Caught sight of this in the garden section, it is truly the right color for me ;)

Maybe Soon...

Iris
Raining out so I'm painting in!

All that digging in the dirt has me aching to see some bloom...maybe soon.

Optimism

The Watercolor challenge this month is Pine Cones. I've been finding them everywhere, even in the road. Optimistically, they will start a few trees or serve as munchies for the birds and squirrels. It's been awhile since I painted one with watercolors and I had forgotten what fun they are to draw.

Now I have a few others on my table...posing.
