Photo of the Day and Playing with WC

Good morning,

It is Friday the 13th and I think it is going to be a wonderful day, don't you?

Here is today's photo:


I don't think one photo is enough today. Here is another:


Don't you just love nature?

I also have a picture of yesterday's lunch accompanied by a couple of roses the hubster cut for me:

I don't know why I didn't remove the napkin before snapping this!

I also played with watercolors after lunch and I mean played. I held the brush quite far back on the handle and just played. I'm not sure this counts as watercolor art, but I am quite pleased with it. I don't exactly love it, but I am pleased enough with how it turned out.


I slept in today and have a busy day planned. The hubster is taking me out to lunch and then I am going to my daughter's house (she will be at work) to watch a watercolor workshop with Molly Murrah. If I try to watch it with at home my hughesnet connection, it is very slow and I usually go over my bandwidth allowance which kicks me off for 24 hours.

I am so pleased to have this place to share and such wonderful readers who take the time to leave me comments and suggestions.

And, by the way, if you haven't already left a comment on this past Monday's post to get a chance to win a new Rhodia Webnotebook, do so now. I will be choosing the winner using a random number some time early Monday morning. Good luck to you all!

xoxo

  4. I like your watercolor! It's fun to work the brush as far up the handle as you can. Your work reminds me of the beautiful brushwork that I see in Sargent's watercolors. Do you suppose he did this kind of exercise too?

    Cool photos too, by the way!

  5. Nice photos! I really like the colors of the first one, those bright orange-y yellow tones! <3

    Can't see your watercolor painting tough, the file seems broken (or is it my computer/internet connection?), unfortunately.

    PS: I just watched Molly's ustream workshop too and thought of you. ;)
    Can't wait for the last two classes, they sound the most interesting and fun of all!
