Bird Nest
5 x 7
Watercolor on 300 lb paper
One night about a week ago, I was taking my pack of pups out for their evening walk. On my front door is a wreath and this tiny bird flew out just as I had stepped threw the threshold. Scared the bajeebees out of me.
When we got back from our walk - I peeked inside the wreath to find this sturdy, well constructed, tiny nest, with four little light blue eggs. What an exciting discovery!
Today I had a little time to paint so I painted the little "Bird Nest."
On another note, I have all my supplies to revamp my booth at the indoor market. We (my fiance) and I were going to start painting the booth tomorrow (7/13). He is leaving to go out of town several days early - tomorrow (7/13 a.m.). So now I'm going to be doing the painting. . . alone. YIKES!!!! Wish me luck in this transformation.
"Life is Sweet" yes it is. This is a fountain in our town square, the children and adults make wishes in there. I was going to name it something about wishing. I painted this little piece in my w/c class at the J.C. here in town. Once again I did the back ground and moved in. I didn't bring my frisket (a water resistant that reminds me of rubber cement) so I used a white crayon for the resist to keep the white of the paper as well as it would allow. I wonder if this wax from the crayon would now qualify the piece as a multi media? Hmm - I was having again such a great time with my iPod going and painting and just moving through - that I was reminded of the movie where the actress is intoxicated and she steps into the fountain singing - completely unaware - of the onlookers - and seemingly of the water. So I named the painting from the title of the movie - "La Vida Dolce." Life is Sweet
