My Sweet Saturdays week #63 ......

 

Hi Everyone....

If you followed my blog from Spring till now you will know the history of these doves and the nests and the eggs....well I finally got to plant these wall planters after their last babies took flight and then the other day noticed that there was some nest matter in my planters again!!!!

At first I started to take out the bits and pieces...and they just kept making more....then the next time I looked...there was an egg....and then another egg....so now we have these cute doves sitting with us on the patio....very cute.....they just keep coming back for more....what I don't get is why they even need to sit on the eggs...it is like 90 degrees out!!! its a wonder they don't cook ......

Thought they were super sweet and wanted to share them for my Sweet Saturdays post this week!!!

Happy Saturday and Happy Creating Everyone!!!

It is amazing how important the internet has become....I have been offline with my computer for a few days now and it has been a struggle and a stretch....let me tell you.....I even tried to do a blog post with my smartphone...but I just didn't have it in me....

So I am finally up and running thanks to a few amazing people....This week has been super busy with the last day of School being today!!!! I baked cupcakes for the whole class and packaged up some sweet gifts for all of the amazing Teachers and Principle....it was so much fun!!!!

Happy Thursday Everyone....

The Summer of Colour....week 3....Zinnias

Hi Everyone...and Happy Monday!!!!

I am back from a wonderful and inspiring weekend up at the cottage and I bring you some zinnias I worked on for the Summer of Colour week 3.....When I was growing up my Parents had a huge vegetable garden and every year my Mom would put in a huge row of Zinnias....one of my favorite summertime flowers....these babies grow in all sorts of colours and I love the way they look and smile at you.....these flowers are something I always added to my very own vegetable garden every year....but this year I didn't plant any....and I am missing them already....so I thought I would draw some to remember them....

Next year I will have to sow some seeds of these pretties....

Sharing these with all of my friends in blog land today!!!

Happy Monday and Happy Creating Everyone....

Paint Party Friday.....another vintage lady.....

Hi Everyone...

It is Friday again....I have no idea where the week went....It was Monday and now it is Friday all over again....I do have to say that this week was super hot....It was well in the 90's here with the humidity....and the whole summer is going to be super hot....so I am looking forward to enjoying wonderful times outside with my amazing family....

Today I finished up a new vintage inspired piece in ink and watercolour and am sharing her with all of my super talented friends over at Paint Party Friday........I love love love vintage patterns and this is some more fan art....

I titled this piece....

Une nuit sur la ville - A night on the Town

Next week she will be in a new scene if I have the time to come up with something fun and exciting....after all she is dressed for something special isn't she!!!

Wishing you all an amazing Friday and weekend.....I hope you will all join me back here for Sweet Saturdays....

Picking some Lavender in the Garden and showing a few new Commissions on my workspace....

Hello Everyone....

A little early for WOYWW.....but it is a hot one out there and I am in the cool Studio working away and decided to share what's on my workspace. I worked on two watercolour commissions for a very sweet client I have been working with for a while now....These are special pieces that will go to his new clients that have moved to Wasaga Beach.....I am always a fan of beach scenes!!!

I picked some bunches of my lavender for drying this morning before the day got super hot and also packaged up these paintings to head to their new homes.........

then my day in the Studio started and I have so many new ideas brewing in my mind....I have a few more paper dolls to work on for my book coming out this year so I am in full swing with those pieces and my latest picture book will come to life right here on my blog soon....with daily sketches and updates....so be sure to tag along and join me on this journey!!!



Happy Tuesday/Wednesday and Happy Creating Everyone!!!
