Creative Tuesdays Lovebugs that buzz

Lovebugs that buzz. We need these guys. Watercolor with digital collage.

Not sure if I prefer the turquoise background or the white pale grey? What do you think?

Need more sun, less deer and more time.....

Sunday Flowers

Spring Joy

Everything is growing like crazy, fruit trees in bloom, the tulips which are all in pots on the deck to try and outwit the deer :)

Jump for Joy

A day at the beach, sun shining couldn't be a better reason to jump for joy.

For Illustration Friday Jump challenge.

Up up to the heights

 First there was lift off....

 Then up up to the highest heights......

Well then...what goes up comes down.

Watercolor for several art challenges. The garden is calling my name will try to post a flower painting soon. There is starting to be so much to choose from!

Mind you the weeds are winning :)

Puzzled by bubbles?

Puzzled by bubbles, they are there and then?

I sometimes use a bubble machine in storytime, lots of fun but saved till the very last because chaos is guaranteed! Little ones find bubbles magic.

Very late with illustration challenges this week, it has been a hectic few weeks :)

Vocal Easter Rabbit?

Easter Bunny saga....first the eggs, then decorated eggs, then Mr Bear gets his first easter egg.

 There is lots of bunny conversation going on. It may be quiet vocalization, but I think these bunnies have lots to say!

Having survived 3 days of Easter bunny preschool programs at the library (with little bunny foo foo puppet play, marshmallow & icing & jellybean chicks)

With very excited children, I believe I am done with bunnies for a few months at least :)

For art challenges: Illustration Friday, Paint Party Friday

Return to me

 Return to me called Ms Quail to Mr Quail as he set off.....

The quail have been busy in the garden, they don't seem to mind the constant rain. I'm undecided on the background? What do you think? I quite like the clean white :) The first stages or this here and here

Creative Tuesdays & April showers

 April showers bring Erythronium

For Creative Tuesdays.

Garden visitors

Sketch that got started late, the sun finally came out!

Gardening like crazy....To the "tobacco"call of the quail.

I think they must be nesting close by.

Rough sketch for Sunday Sketches that will develop into?

A little spring weather

 

We will go swamp tramping, with the fair weather dog who would wear shoes, hates the rain and loves to sleep. For Illustration Friday,  Watercolor Wednesday , Paint Party Friday , Monday Artday & Inspiration Avenue. I think rain must have been on the radar. More spring images here & here.

 Still playing with hellebore flowers these are mixed media on canvas, they are such a representative flower of spring. Rain doesn't seem to slow them up at all!
