APR. 26/2012 ~ Fireblaze in Bud

What to create or paint on a grey day. The view from my office window. A large spruce tree and my Fire Blaze Maple in bud. Tiny little leaves that look like little red & rust hearts all over.

On second look at this watercolour, I might have bitten off more than I could chew today. I think I will keep the next few a little more graphic, as I am very out of practice freehanding what I see. TFL

APR. 25/2012 ~ New Project Idea

Some of you know that I went to a fine arts high school in Windsor ON. Can - Windsor Center for Creative Arts / Walkerville Collegaite Institute - GO TARTANS! I loved all my classes in Voice, Brass ensemble, Trumpet & Visual arts and all the other needed classes. One of my favourite classes was art. I love doing watercolours. I get to do a little watercolour here & there but I don't take the time to do a lot of it. That is going to change today. I am putting my own little watercolour journal. I made a colour chart of the watercolour pencils & crayons that I have (not my tubes of paint). Tomorrow I am going to make a collage journal cover with a painting. I'll show that to when it is done.

Here is my first page - an good reminder for all of us creative, crafty people.

APR. 15/2012 ~ A Couple of Friendly Cards

We just received some fun new Jillibean Soup papers in the store and I could not resist using them to make a couple of quick Thank You cards for some friends.

Thanks for looking!

APR. 7/2012 ~ The Same Love - Paul Baloche

The same God that spread the heavens wide
The same God that was crucified
Is calling us all by name
You are calling us all by name
