Lavender Flower Fairy -Paint Party Friday

I have these flowers in my garden.  They bloom in late Fall and have the most beautiful lavender flowers.  Of course there's a little fairy who comes to paint them just for me.

Have a good weekend, dear ones and Happy Paint Party Friday.

 

Crocus Baby -Paint Party Friday

Hello, sweet Friends!  This is a little drawing I created while on my trip to Idaho.  Isn't he cute?  I can't decide whether he's an elf or a fairy!  What a dear little fellow.  I am suddenly inspired to add ladybugs.  What do you think?

I hope you are having a wonderful day.  Here in the mid-Willamette Valley the sun is trying very hard to break through the clouds.  Such a beautiful day!

Thank you for dropping by, dear ones.  Your comments always bring joy to my heart.  May God bless you with peace and laughter, and Happy Paint Party Friday!

Happy Iris Dancer -Paint Party Friday

This is a recent ink drawing.  To see my original graphite sketch, here's the link: Happy Iris Dancer.  If you look closely you'll see a fairy house in the reeds of this beautiful garden and swamp.  There's a certain joy in her stance--I have felt that dancing hope in my heart...

Though it is nearing the anniversary of my Beloved's home-going--I know he would be happy for me.  I am not alone.  The God who made the universe holds my hand.

Above you see my reference photo.  This talented photographer's name is Jessica Truscott.  You can find her wonderful stock pictures at FaeStock on DA.

Have a glorious weekend.  May God fill your heart with light and joy even though difficult circumstances surround you.  Thank you for your visit.  Your comments are such an encouragement to my heart!  ((HUGS))

On Butterfly Wings -Paint Party Friday

I have always had a daydream of riding on the back of a butterfly to places unknown.  Perhaps it is the child in my heart who still wishes it were possible.  My reference was a vintage postcard from the early 1900's.  I am a big fan of that era in America's history. 

Yesterday in the United  States, we celebrated Thanksgiving.  Indeed, there is so much for which to be thankful.  As I looked around the room where my family gathered, there was music, instruments,  singing and laughter...we ate the good food, joked and laughed some more.  I felt the presence of my dear husband--I know he was smiling as he saw the laughter and love of our family.

I hope your Thanksgiving was a wonderful one.  Happy Paint Party Friday, and have a GREAT weekend all you wonderful people!

Butterfly Buddy -Guest Heart Thursday

A dear friend of mine took a wonderful photo of her collie dog.  I've always loved collies--ever since I watched Lassie as a little girl.  I could not resist drawing a picture of my friend's dog--with, of course, a bit of whimsey.  (grin)  And yes, there are hearts to be found!

Happy Guest Heart Thursday!

Butterfly Dreams - Guest Heart Thursday

Have you  ever wondered what a butterfly might dream about?  If I were a butterfly I might dream of being a faery.  Hence this graphite drawing, Butterfly Dreams.  Yes, there are hearts to be found--how many can YOU find?

Happy New Year, Everyone!

Cady Butterfly - Sunday Scans

Here is another of my latest watercolours!  I loved painting with all the different colors, but it took a long time, as much of the time I had to let the paper dry between painting.  Took me quite awhile to finish this painting.  I think it is my favorite watercolour so far!  This delightful little girl, like a flower, surely would attract the most beautiful butterflies.

Have a lovely weekend!
