Hot hot hot

Welcome from sunny and hot Phoenix!! They broke a record yesterday hitting 118! 

I have been completing lots of art projects —- with my 3 year old granddaughter.  We went outside and water painted using found items.  

Of course, as usual hers eventually turned into a finger painting. 

We also did a smoosh painting because she applied too much paint😂 😂

Lots of messy fun here!

Catching up

We were at the lake for a few days. Had fun boating, fishing and seeing my twin sister. 

This week is all about the butterfly! A couple of different ones. 

I was also inspired by a gorgeous sunset.

I am heading to spend a few weeks with the grandkids. I will bring my supplies but I may not have any time to use them. I might be too tired by the time I fall into bed:)

New Computer

My computer died a week an d a half ago so I have been anxiously awaiting the new one. Luckily my son is Tech Support so he got me all set up and I am now good to go. Luckily nothing was lost!

It has been a busy week as I continue to experiment and play. I have watched some wonderful Youtube videos which have helped me a lot. And I am now on a quest for a fun brush I saw which I think will help me a lot. It is referred to as a Cat Tongue.

And then something different - a watercolor goauche ATC for the theme destinations. This is Arizona where the grandkids are:)

Wishing everyone a safe and healthy weekend!

Thank you for visiting. Your kind words mean the world to me.

End of the week

As I sit here listening to storms, I have realized it is the end of another week. The rain is a welcome change from the scorching heat we have been having in Michigan.

I have enjoyed some time this week playing with paints. When I started moving from scrapbooking to mixed media and now to watercolors, I did so without any classes or lessons. I have realized I have no idea what I am doing g😀 this week I have watched a couple of videos and painted along with the artists. I am beginning to learn and understand watercolor paints better. I still have a long ways to go but I am learning.

Here are a few of my creations from this week.

With each one I have learned something new and feel a little bit better about grabbing that new piece of paper.

Paint party Saturday

Am enjoying a weekend at the cottage. I did finish two new cards

These are two very different styles for me and I was inspired by an artist in a new watercolor group I joined on Facebook.

On A Roll

I am on a roll with getting some layouts accomplished!

My granddaughter recently turned 3 and while I thought she looked like her mom, I need to get out an old photo to prove it.

She does!

Same nose and smile for sure!

In Her Easter Outfits

My granddaughter had not one, not two, not three but four Easter outfits. A friend who always buys her clothes for the holidays had gotten two but forgot where she put them so got her two more. I made sure Lauren wore each of them during the day. Sadly 3 years old grow so much that it would be impossible to save them for the next year.

I was inspired by this sketch from Stickitdown

I chose to put all 4 photos together closer to the bottom of the page.
