Mary B Spires Watercolor & Art Stuff

Dreams is posting a small watercolor sketch daily.  She will be giving it to one lucky follower!  Sign up for her blog post to be in the drawing!  With all the travel this summer, I'm doing little pen & watercolor in my journal. Today I decided to try one from her posting ....join her in France via little videos and photos

6"x6" Transparent Watercolor Dick & I visited the Yampa Valley  Garden on Saturday and all the spring flowers were in bloom.  I had visited the gardens when we were here about 3 years ago, but it was fall.  Spring has sprung in the Rockies!   

6" x 6" Transparent Watercolor This was painted from an old photograph I took at my mother in laws house.....this plant was on a trellis outside her back porch .....it provided wonderful shade. 

Angels' Trumpet - Jill Macfarlane a friend and Florida artist ...... posted on Facebook.... Angels' Trumpets belongs to the nightshade family and is highly toxic.  Keep the plant away from young children and pets, and gardeners should wear gloves to prevent contact with the plant's sap!

6" x 6" Transparent Watercolor I have no idea what this flower is called (if someone out there knows please let me know)....the first time I saw one was at Renoir house in the south of France.  They are huge... about 8-10 inches long.  We just returned from Hawii and I have to say it was "wonderful".....we drove "the road to Hana", which is  the road into the rain forest.  Long winding road but it was worth the eight hour trip up and back.
