The sun is shining, the birds are singing (squawking), and we've even had a hummingbird. We've mowed the lawn, and hauled junk out to the curb for the spring pick-up.
This little watercolor sketch was done using some cross hatching with a Gelly-roll pen. I watched a Tommy Kane demo on cross hatching, and thought it looked fun - I hadn't done it in years. I don't think flowers are really a good subject for that technique, but it was fun, and I'll do it again.
As far as the greenhouse fix - I'm sure I'm not really "fixed". There's something about the heat, the smell, the colors . . .
How was your winter? Are you painting and sketching?
It looks lovely, I'm painting, I just planted a few impatiens.Sadie, our puppy,ate one,the whole thing including the dirt. oh boy. So glad to hear from you. love,Diana
ReplyDeleteThank goodness you are out of hibernation!!! Lovely comeback I might add. The exciting news for me is we are moving to Harbor Springs middle of July. Yippee! That means, I may be able to join one of your workshops either the end of summer or fall!!! Welcome back Catherine!
ReplyDeleteDiana - that dog is SO comical! Rudy, our cat, eats my flowers. What would we do without our pets to entertain us?
ReplyDeleteMargie - You're moving to Harbor! That's great. Looking forward to seeing you!
Well, well...here you are at long last. I've missed your posts...seems like it was forever that I kept checking for something new...until now! Glad you're back in Cyberland.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you're back--took all of us awhile to crawl out of the snowbanks :-)
ReplyDeleteLove all the color coming to life these days!!!
Took my WC/Journal to a 50th Anniv. Open House this afternoon and may have a new student to come along this August--Yay!
Marj.
Love the delicate ness and life of this. So glad that you are back Catherine! Missed your blog all winter. I can't come to any of your Bayview classes this summer - my son's getting married in July and we're taking a Scandinavian cruise in August - will have plenty of painting subjects. I'd still like to come to one of your book making classes. I've been sketching lots, Sketchbook Skool, EDM, etc. lots of fun! Have a good summer!
