It's All About The WHIMSY!

Morning view

painted in Waterlogue 

This morning as I sit admiring these beauties the promise of Spring seems real...until I check the local weather and read that once again a winter storm is on the way.  Good news is that the worst will be off the coast but I fear we will be shoveling again..I guess Spring will have to wait, again.

 

Working on Sprouts in my NE journal.  These are altered magazine images.  Such fun!  Overpainted with watercolors and sketched over in pen. Give it a try, you'll like it!

Spring creeps in slowly

A few of the highlights of my week so far...

Last weekend a few brave crocus bloomed in the front lawn.  

Evidence of Spring!  Small and cheerful they offer hope for the end of winter...

This seemed to inspire Miss Maggie who decided to jump in the frozen pond, with resulting ice break up, for a little swim.  What was she thinking!!  We had a lovely indoor shower to clean off the scum and she slept the rest of the day.

 I do think I was wetter than her!

This is my outdoor painting Lukas palette.  As spring seems ready to burst forth and it is looking rather sad and depleted I made a trip to Jerry's Artarama for refill tubes of watercolor.  I am proud of myself~I stuck to my shopping list and was not drawn in by the allure of all the lovely art supplies!  It looks much happier now and I am ready to head outdoors when it warms a bit more.

And last but not least a few pages from my No Excuses art journal ..

 

 

I hope your week is going well!  Think warm and sunshine!!
