woyww - pretty one this time

Time to try and paint a white rose. 

Following along in the style of Louise De Masi (Aussie artist) using the wet on wet technique. Her website and instagram is full of great ideas and tips.  

Have a lovely woyww.

woyww - Gigi in watercolour

Gigi was a pleasure to paint 

and that is because I didn't let her into my studio.  

Have a happy woyww.

woyww - flat lay with cup rings

Was quite proud of my first flat lay until DD pointed out that I have cup rings in the bottom 

right corner.  Geez what would we do without daughters.

Gorgeous ATC from Heather and her card made me smile big time.

Happy woyww.

woyww - 520 bits and pieces on my desk

In honour of the 520th WOYWW I have a pic of my desk with lots of mess but also a

"star gem" magnolia coming along nicely.

Happy woyww 

woyww - sneer versus teeth

An attempt at painting an almost 2 year old with a "sneer" makes me question why I chose 

that photo to paint.  

So much simpler to paint Elli with a full set of doggie teeth.

Have a lovely WOYWW peek at desks.

I have set a reminder to come back next week for the 10th anniversary.

woyww seascape

This poor little brush had a workout while trying to capture the details on this seascape on my desk.  

 I don't think I could fit another wave on this little part of the ocean.  Waves breaking over the sandstone cliffs part of the Kamay, Botany Bay National Park. 

Had a lovely day last Friday catching up with Shaz and finally meeting after 6 years of chat on woyww.  Hope you have recovered from your fall Shaz?  Which reminds me to say hello to all the other lovely crafters/artists on woyww.

blue and white crock travels the world

Aiming for a monthly check in on woyww for 2019.  Surely I should be able to manage once a month.  Time will tell.

Painted an old blue and white crock that has been hanging around for decades. Turns out I visited Italy as a child and stayed on a cherry farm not far from where they produce the very Italian "Fabbri Amarena".    But, the crock actually belonged to my DH's family who lived in France for a period of time. Now it is immortalised in watercolour in Australia. 

Have a lovely woyww.
