Summer of Color Week 3

It's Week 3! Check out some of the gorgeous art created with the colors from Baseball Nut Ice Cream over at Summer of Color and I'm still here...lol I have had this drawn for a couple of days but couldn't find any colors to do it with in my watercolors/pencils, crayons... until Les over at Harmony Road Studio suggested using acrylics on it.. now there I have tons of colors.. haven't used them in my journal before.. so thank you Les for suggesting it... I realize that it isn't exactly perfectly centered or even..I really should start using a ruler etc.. but am still really happy with it.. I really do think I need bigger paper next time...lol...

I am so excited ... my zucchini has 5... yes 5!! little zucchini's on it.. that's 2 more than I had all last summer...lol

Tiger Lilies are starting to open... soooo gorgeous...

I had sunday off and today so have started spraying things and thinking about getting ready for the fall.. so I collected up all my teapots.. and got them ready to spray... I was so sure I had more than 20 of them... but it's a start....and so it begins!!

 

Ok did it again...lol can't type from the end only the middle.. ugh... some day!!  

Anyways.. off to paint I think.. it's so gloriously hot and sunny outside.. might have to hang out there abit too and enjoy my only day off till the weekend...

Thanks for stopping by.. hope you are having a loverly day! Don't forget to check out some of the other sites too.....

Color of Summer week 2...

Good morning... quick post before I head off to work... The art in week one of The Color of Summer was fantastic.. I didn't get to everyone's but what I did see what so wonderful.. Thanks to everyone who commented on mine as well... I can hardly wait to see all the week 2 pieces... Work sure gets in the way of having fun some times...lol
Anyways.. here's my week 2... Which was mint chocolate chip! One of my favs....In the picture this looks more black than brown though...

 But I did have fun with it....
Remember the kittens we found a couple of years ago? well Princess Lulu had kittens and we finally found where she had them... 5 of them! too cute.. so we took a couple of pictures to send to Chaya and here they are....

She has decided that the little orange one shall be named Betty Lulu??? really? no clue as to where she got that... but seeing as the name Princess Lulu was already taken...lol...
We had a lovely Father's day weekend..went in on sunday.. had a lovely seafood bbq and spent the night so had a lovely morning before I had to come home to go to work.. Tierney loves this bumbo chair.. she doesn't want to miss a thing now.. and Chaya is a great help making sure she has things to chew on...lol

Well that's it for now.. should get going and get ready for work.. I am so pleased that I did week 2.. whooo hooo!!
Hope you all have a loverly day... Thanks for stopping by...

I am alive! and Color of Summer!

Where does the time go? I feel like I am in the middle of a whirlwind and life is just swirling around me.. nothing much changes.. work.. sleep.. hang out with the girls when ever possible..and here they are.. taken last week when I babysat them both for the first time... all by myself!! Went well... but was I tired...lol

We're just getting ready to leave for Chaya's ballet recital... too cute.. Tierney's just having a little catnap so she can watch it too...lol
Not alot of painting going on.. have been doing some orders and Quilling on a couple of wedding invitation orders .. here's the one that is finished and on it's way ...Thanks Les for blurring the names so I could post it..

For the past week or so I have been seeing all the beautiful art being posted for this years Color of Summer challenge... I so enjoyed it last year.. not sure that I will be able to keep up.. but it sure felt good to make some art ... so here's my art for the Rainbow Sherbert week one...it's done on a small canvas.. I love this saying..

So this is my challenge.. to make one piece of art a week and to do a post as well... lol doesn't sound that difficult does it? 
Hope everyone is doing well.. I have missed all of you and what you've been up to... hope to catch up little by little...
Have a loverly day and a wonderful weekend.. off to get ready for work....
