Rainbow Angel -Guest Heart Thursday

This is an ACEO--a tiny piece of art the size of a baseball card.  I created this doodle while watercoloring with my tiny niece.  Everyone should have the opportunity to see the world from the eyes of a six-year old.  Of course there are hearts to be found.

SKETCH BOOK UPDATE: I was so heart broken when I lost my sketchbook and thought I had lost it forever. I looked everywhere, made phone calls, put it out on the internet...then Monday morning I was cleaning the house for housesitters, when I picked up a dark blue cloth bag. Beneath it, half under the carpet, between the wall and our dining room table--was my sketchbook. I have NO idea how it could have slipped beneath the carpeting--but someone suggested it must be Toez the Polydactyl cat. Hmmmmm....scary thought. (grin) I can't tell you how overjoyed I feel to have my sketchbook back!!!!!

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!

Papa and the Pink Cat

This is Papa. Papa is one of the most lovely down to earth people you could ever meet.

.

In this picture, you can see Papa is really an elf. You would never guess it to look at him. I surmise he must be an elf because of the magic he does with cement. Papa is a true artist. He can turn cement into an authentic looking wooden porch, or add color to make the most lovely rock walkway imaginable.

.

Papa is so gifted, in these hard times, he does not lack for work. People know the incredible quality of service he gives, and of his honest, hard-working nature. I consider it a great honor to know this wonderful, gifted artist.

Here a pink cat is perched upon his shoulders because it chose to do so. I have NO idea how it ended up in this drawing. (grin)

Faery Kisses

There is nothing more beautiful than faery kisses--they are magical and full of sunshine. The model for this picture was a teenager when I snapped this photo of her. She is one of the loveliest people I know in real life! This morning, as I type this, the lovely lady's little daughter is having surgery to close a hole in her heart. I would appreciate your prayers.
