Mr Bear takes flight

Mr Bears first flight. He had better not lose his seat!

For several art challenges. It would be easy to get behind on my own self imposed challenge of painting at least once a week, life gets busy but I look back at the years output and approach it as a practice.

Water falling from the sky

Mr Bear is ready for fall weather.

I'm not quite so ready! The rain has arrived and seems to be settling in.

Mirror of Fall Colours

Fall Colours Mirrored all through the wild garden.

 Delicious shades juicy and prickly!

Books

 Treasured books that recall the giver who led me to them. This edition of Gift From the Sea was from my Mother, it is a lovely hard bound embossed edition.

Other treasures, sketch books filled from childhood. Diaries. The gift of reading, writing and sketching.

 It is great to have these to look back on, the writing is hilarious!

Romantic Picnic

She has the flowers he has the picnic, wonder what is in the bag?

Crooked Crows Challenges met and Creative Tuesdays!

There was a crooked crow

Who found a crooked twig

He flew a crooked mile

To his crooked nest so big!

For many art challenges. I am constantly pushing myself because of these prompts. It would be very easy some weeks to let things slide. Thank you to all the sites that are out there that give up the "push" :)

Bursting with fragrance

Favourite flowers that are heady with fragrance.

For Illustration Friday, Paint Party Friday & Creative Every Day.

Fragrant flowers are even better together :)

Had a short holiday in the interior of BC. Such a different landscape, beautiful but I missed the blue greens of the coast.

We went as far as Nelson almost to the Alberta border. 

Managed to get lost returning in the dark on the freeway into Vancouver! Lots of memorable adventures.

Dance of the Cosmos

 Cosmos Dance, watercolour

The Dahlia's jumped into the dance with cosmos and santolina.

Imagination and the Man in the Moon

 

If someone tells you there is a Man in the Moon your imagination can run with it....

Sometimes it can take on nightmare flights of imagination, running to the Man in the Moon?

Kopiha Vasan @ http://whitecoral.net/ has posted an interview with me, check it out, and have a look at her work. She is working toward her interest in watercolour and fashion illustration.

I am putting together a portfolio for an illustration group and need to choose 12 images from my children's illustration, if anyone wants to give me feedback on which 12 to include I will draw a name from the responses and send you a print.

I am having a hard time deciding on which to include and which to exclude! And I have to get it organized post haste. I would appreciate your help!

Identical, or not?

 Illustration Friday Identical Challenge, all about reflections.

The delicate flowers of late summer a change from all the yellows and oranges.
