6" x 6" Transparent Watercolor I'm in Ohio this week, visiting my family.  My brother is in Chemo.....we lost our older brother, father & mother with cancer.  It is in the family.  I had breast cancer 25 years ago.....I was lucky.  We are having a family get together on the 4th....everyone will be there, except my great granddaughter Gigi.  She visiting her grandfather in Florida.  We will miss that little smiling face.   I got to paint yesterday with my friends at Donna Noices watercolor class at Robert Warrens Art Loft.....this was painted from a photograph taken in Steamboat Springs.

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.
