Painting Roses -Paint Party Friday

This is a combination of colored pencils and watercolor.  I painted this for a friend of mine as a gift.  There's something about this piece I just love--the idea of this little fairy girl painting roses in summer delights my heart. I'm sure I've seen this sweet fae out in my garden in the early morning hours, as the dew was drying in the summer sunshine.

Here is another peek into my sketchbook--this one is called Daisy Dinner.  The drawing makes me smile because of the look on that fella's face...he's obviously really going to enjoy eating that daisy!

Have a lovely day, sweet Friends!  Happy Paint Party Friday!  I'm also linking up with Friday Sketches!

Circus Menagerie -Weekly Word Sketch

This is a lineart drawing from some time ago. I thought it would fit for one of this week's words--circus!

This week has been an adventure--not much time for artwork or drawing!  We have discovered there have been critters living beneath our home.  My darling husband set a trap--thinking he would capture an opossum--but what we found instead was a little skunk.

Dealing with this little fellow has been pungently interesting.  We eventually had to hire someone to come out and take him away.   He is now free and happy in the Baskette Slough, a wildlife reserve near here.

Have a lovely day!  If you would like to join us for weekly Word Sketch, click on the picture below to visit Oak Moon Studios for the details.

Pink Pegasus - Pink Saturday

I have loved stories, myths, legends and fairytales since I was a small child.  I would dream of climbing upon the back of the winged Pegasus to soar into the clouds.

This watercolor of Pegasus is 2.5x3.5 inches--it fits into the palm of my hand.  I don't know why I decided to make this fellow pink--but it fits, don't you think?  Have a lovely Saturday!

Menagerie

This little doodle is a sample of some of the cartooning I've done over the years. When I'm doodling, I often draw people and animals in great clumps of penned personality--hence, the name of this doodle--Menagerie. (grin)
