Paint Party Friday......and Illustration Friday - soaked

backyard fun2

We have had rain here for days now...and I thought I would look at the bright side of things and be thankful that I don't have to water anything....so I was sitting in the Studio thinking of something to create and this sweet watering girl popped into my head....so this is my piece for PPF today.....and I just looked at the prompt for IF this week and it is "soaked" so I must have psychic powers.....lol
 
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!!!!

You can find these fun prints added to my Etsy Shop......
Happy Creating!!!! and for another fun challenge join us here every Saturday for "Sweet Saturdays" where you can share something sweet on your blog and add a link here.....

  4. Bonjour ma très chère Diana,
    En France nous souffrons réellement de la sécheresse... Ta charmante petite aux mille couleurs serait la bienvenue dans mon jardin!
    J'adore les détails apportés, ses petites tongues et une robe comme j'aimerais bien porter... Ton dessin est tout simplement adorable et rempli de fraîcheur... Bravo my sweet amie.
    Gros bisous...

  16. Well, I wish this lady came to my garden cause there is not enough rain in this part so we have to water our garden. :) Beautiful illustration as always, Diane. :)

  17. She is GREAT fun! And I'll send you some sun in exchange for some of your rain- we've been having to water almost daily here in Georgia!

  20. She is having fun in the garden! And so pretty with her colorful clothes and flip flops. I like the patterns you have used in the background and the way they contrast with the illustration.

    And, I guess that's the bright side of all the rain...no watering.
