Working on scrapping some photos from our holiday and also trying my hand at watercolours again (note 3 jars of water). While I was away I started a journal and tried to quickly sketch and paint anything that took my fancy.
The seals at La Jolla were fun and definitely took my fancy. I did this quickly when we got back to the motel and finally a another sketch and w/c wash trying to capture the cold winter sunset along Pebble Beach.
Finally one of the watercolours I had been working on before I moved onto scrapping holiday photos.
I plan to visit lots of desks over the next few days but may not leave comments as I have had problems accessing my blog account. No problems with google just family members who don't check which google account they log into and then change passwords. Grrrr...
Thanks for swinging by my blog Sandra..I hear you re: Pinterest that is the first thing I have ever made that came out good!! I love your watercolour journal..the seal is really beautiful. Cx #25
ReplyDeleteYour watercolours are awesome I love the flowers. Please don't look at mine if you visit just close one eye and squint and I might just get away with it.. Hehe..

You're back!! Woohoo!! I have missed you and am glad to see your desk again :-)
ReplyDeleteI received the beautiful artwork you did for me before Christmas and did feature it on my blog but i'm not sure if it was while you were away, so can I say Thank You again?! I love it, really do and appreciate you sending it all that way!
But where have you been on your trip? Love your watercolours inspired by your hols btw, you have the knack for costuming something in a few strokes :-)
Hugs, LLJ 45 xx
Gosh your desk looks like mine should with the trimmer on the left ready for action. Although I haven't scrapped in ages, I really must do some. Adore the seal it is perfect. Thanks for the visit BJ#2
ReplyDeleteLove those water colours. You have captured such beauty! I am back after a bit of a busy time so it's lovely to catch up! Have a great WOYWW! Julie Ann xx #54
ReplyDeleteYour paintings are really lovely, especially that one with the tree, so atmospheric. Thank you for your visit today and I actually have three silver birches in the garden, all planted very close together so that it almost looks as though one has split into three. In the summer, they give me real privacy from the houses that were built at the bottom of the garden. In the winter, they just gie me the beautiful bark to look at and somewhere to hang some of the bird feeders. xx Maggie #24
ReplyDeleteSuch lovely paintings! I am impressed! Uniflame - 65

ReplyDeleteThanks for the earlier visit.
ReplyDeleteYour w/c paintings may have been quick, but they really show how much talent you have. I find all three to be really interesting.....and so is your desk. I haven't drug out scrapbook stash in a long time, guess I really should get back at it too.

Your paints are just gorgeous I see why you have so many paint brushes at your finger tips. Yes North Carolina is a beautiful state. I'm in Wilmington about 3 hrs from Charlotte. I visit there often for I have children and grands there. Thanks for visiting my and commenting. #55
ReplyDeleteIt's great to see you back, Sandra. I hope you enjoyed your break and how brilliant that you used your watercolours with such beautiful results.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting already
hugs Lisax #53
Oh you can paint! I am SO envious of anyone who can paint or draw ... I can craft a little but can't draw or paint to save my life! I LOVE your butterfly canvas and what a brilliant display at your school fete ... you are one talented lady! Thanks for popping by to my blog and am SO glad you didn't like the Tim Holtz foil either ... a plain black framed pocket watch will do me just fine! Love Debbie xXx
ReplyDeleteI love all your watercolours but I particularly love that last daisy one - its beautiful! I hope you do something nice with them because they should be where people can see them. #41
ReplyDeleteYour desk looks so inviting and somewhere where you can have a wonderful creative time.
ReplyDeleteYour paintings are fantastic. I'm also trying to get back into painting but looking at your work...I've got a long way to go ;D
Thanks for the inspiration and your visit earlier today.
