Now that yard stuff is winding down, back to painting. Thought I’d try some abstract watercolor. This is isn’t finished - it’s practice. It looks like cells, maybe cancer. Not sure.

It’s been a summer of trying to get my lawn to grow and also the things I planted. Will leave it at that.

Armageddon jelly canning.

Excited. My 2025 #canning began tonight. I made #Armageddon Pepper Jelly. According to Google it goes well with cream #cheese and crackers. Sounds appropriate for 2025.

It’s been a moment… my gardening and such took true priority for the first 2 quarters of this year 🌱💛

However, my canvas awaits. I have an #idea on how I can paint something meaningful for @robert-l-barry.bsky.social and me. 🎨

Watercolor watercolour flowers. Springtime art.

I’m following a YouTube tutorial by Diane Antone at youtu.be/FyyY0_w9_j8?...

Watercolor flowers

In some ways, I feel the process is more beautiful than the product. I’m learning to paint #flowers now!

Ok. Last attempt. Time to #moveon. Every version really did teach me something new… and equally stretched my #patience.

Enjoyable weekend. Yummy ice cream and a cow named “Lettuce.”

Special day! Planting has begun!

Really enjoyed last night’s walk with @robert-l-barry.bsky.social. Finally some amicable temps! 🙌🏼

First doggie painting! I am more of a bunny mom and cat slave than a dog diva, but wanted to attempt this piece to see if I could #paint a friend’s best buddy for their birthday. 😅🤯✌️🐾

Heard you should #paint the same painting 4x… with each rendition you learn something. Yes. On #2 and wholeheartedly agree.

The second (tilted upright) isn’t finished. Already realizing a few things for attempt #3. #Learning!!

Love this. My strawberries are starting too 💕

Thank you, Chad! Really appreciate. This is my first attempt at glass (wine bottle, wine glass) and a definite learning moment. This inspo is from our local winery and my favorite from there 💕

Watercolor Painting of wine

Well. #Saturday, right? Trying a new style… I still don’t actually know what “my” #art style is. I think I find landscapes the easiest. I love flowers and fields so that’s probably my natural 😋 This was fun.

Nightmare. The feelings I’ll probably put in my next attempt at art. Lots of inspiration. 🎨

Thanks @robert-l-barry.bsky.social for #datenight!

Watercolor

So much potential. Let’s see how this one goes!

Thank you! I watched a video by Matthew Palmer. He provides amazing tutorials and sketches too!

Very nice!!!

I love this! Beautiful.

Watercolor landscape

Learning how to paint is a #journey. Tonight I decided to try a #landscape. It’s been a bit since my husband and I travelled so I’m having fun creating places on paper.

Thanks 🎨 Matthew Palmer for the inspo!

Watercolor crocus

I can’t sleep. Thankfully, the #bloodmoon happened so that was cool AND I’m finally cleaning pics off my phone… found my first attempt at #watercolor crocuses.

#whyamiawake #cantsleep #optomism #crocus

The first bud of 2025 has emerged. Spring is coming 💛

#optimism #crocus #spring

This painting has taken me some time because I really wanted to do a good job. It’s one thing to paint a sunset that can vary from day to day, but these cuties are consistently perfect.

Very nice!!

@rjlblue.bsky.social how do u like the D Smith paints? I bought a cheap starter pack of others but I keep hearing about that line. One day I’ll give them a try!

So beautiful @rjlblue.bsky.social !
