Down in the land of Oz!

Hi everyone!
I'm back but not really. I'll be visiting family in Australia for a few weeks. I'll try to blog while I'm there if I can.
Take care!

Seascape Beach Resort Wedding Bluff #3

This is my third painting of the Wedding Bluff. I enjoyed spattering the tree.

Orchids in the Gallery Parts 1-3

Here's what I did while sitting in the Gallery on Sunday night. Funny thing, I'm so peaceful when I'm drawing and painting from a still life or out in nature that I don't mind too much if people watch me. I even stayed one hour past closing time to finish these! This is the second time I painted these orchids. I framed parts 1 and 2 (the bottom 2 images here) into one painting and hung them in the gallery today. The third one (on the top) will be part of another series of 3. Stay tuned!

Vase of Orchids Card and Envelope

Last Thursday when I was sitting in the gallery, I was looking for things to do while I waited for people to come in. We're encouraged to do art work in the gallery, so I found this deckled edge card in my purse, took out a pencil and drew the orchids and vase someone had brought in. Then I drew over it with a regular black ink pen. The next day I painted it and the back of the card and wrote a note to someone and mailed it. I think I'll do this again!
