Good Morning!! I hope everyone had a lovely Father's Day...the day started out here gloomy, cloudy and rainy but by noon the sun had poked out and by the time everyone got here.. it was simply gorgeous!! We had a great BBQ and spent the day eating, visiting, playing and blowing bubbles (of course..lol)...Couldn't have asked for a nicer day..
Today is the day to post our color Green over at the Color of Summer challenge.. so here is mine... I loved last week's blue challenge and all the stamping etc that everyone did on their backgrounds... so thought I'd give it a try..I didn't get to see as many of the other entries as I would have liked.. between work and no internet but the ones I did see were so beautiful...so many talented artists.. if you get a chance take a little tour.. you won't be sorry..
I am not very good with watercolors...they definitely don't work the same as acrylics... so my plan had been to have a sea of yellow flowers behind the green grasses.. but I couldn't seem to be able to define the flowers behind so now it's just sunshine behind the grass...lol.. It's whatever.. I did have fun with it...and it is very green..lol !!
My rock garden has gone wild... the plants have grown huge.. it now looks like a jungle... have never had some of these plants grow this big... the columbines and even the violas are huge..can't see the stepping stones or anything anymore...(or a lot of the weeds either...lol)
This new wand makes absolutely fab big bubbles... very cool but it did take some practice to play with it..
This cottage teapot just needs varnish.. and you can flip the lid over and use it for a candle holder... I have a few almost finished..here's the back and front.. I forgot to take a pic of it with the candle in the top..
They make great little centerpieces on your table and you can either use a real candle or one of those little battery operated tea lights... I realized that the first sale date is coming very close and I really haven't painted enough for it as yet so will probably spend the next couple of days I have off in my painting room...
Hope everyone has a lovely day.. and thanks for popping by...
