whacky luke - $25.00

5X7" watercolor card on acid free paper. I suppose I got bored again with painting flowers and ventured out painting other things. It's a bit crazy and fun. and all in the name of experimentation. I actually made a trip to Michael's for the back to school sale and may be taking this painting a day to a new place. Got new tools for experimenting.

Wild bunny - $25.00

5X7" watercolor card on acid free paper. I decided to paint my other animals. This is my wild bunny, who I really don't see very much, as he is always scurrying around the cage when I go to feed him. I find it a bit amazing that the wildness and fear of me doesn't ever subside no matter what treats I bring him. He is truly wild. Someday, I may bring him to the farm and let him loose, as I have seen other wild bunnys at the farm.

Wild Zinnia VI - $25.00

5X7" watercolor card on acid free paper. I personally love this one. It's kind of amazing that I don't really get tired of looking at those zinnias. I am starting to really seek out the ones that aren't purple. I got a shot of a red one this morning. I wonder if it's too late to throw more seeds in the ground? I'm tempted.

Wild Zinnia V - $25.00

5X7" watercolor card on acid free paper. Lov'in the new direction with the patterned backgrounds. Most of my zinnias in my garden are purple. I'm going to keep my eye out for a different colored one when it pops up and paint it. I do have a wonderful painting started of the okra flower. Have a happy Friday!

Wild Zinnia III- SOLD

5X7" watercolor card on acid free card. I REALLY had fun doing this. I think I was just getting bored with the regular painting and had to just step out for a minute. I love repetitive patterns. So, this just does something to me. fun!

Mr. Rufus - SOLD

5X7" watercolor card on acid free paper. I kind of went off kilter and decided to paint a bird. My bird. Mr. Rufus. There's actually a bit of a bird theme going around the studio. No, I'm not talking about Rufus. But, birds in general. I created these tiny paintings of birds a year or so ago to place into jewelry. Little 1" paintings. It was fun and they are so incredibly cute. These tiny paintings hung around in a box on my drafting table for a long time. Pretty much looked like this Rufus painting but, in all different colors and poses. I'll need to take a picture. Anyway, Muriel shows up a year later with these tiny birds someone gave her from, I think, India. And, my brain had a flash. Look! and I pulled out my paintings. It's amazing how in art and in life common themes seem to reoccur. I will take pictures. It's just a neat coincidence.

Lavender - SOLD

5X7" watercolor on acid free paper. I almost forgot to post today. Very busy! Lavender is one of my favorite plants and favorite smells. I have many lavender plants hanging around my garden. Two different varieties. Just put your face right smack in the middle and run your hands over the lavender towards your nose... you will feel instant peace. No kidding. I also keep a bottle of essential oil around and add a few drops to my tub. mmmmm good.

Purple Flower - SOLD

5X7" watercolor on acid free paper. I'm not quite sure what this flower is. I came across a bunch of pictures I took... of course I've taken hundreds... I don't always know what they are. They are all beautiful in there own way. I noticed one of my okra plants had a beautiful bloom on it this weekend. But, I had forgotten my camera and it was way too hot to sit outside painting. The next day the bloom was gone. I'm keeping my eyes out for another one and will share when it happens.
