Something I painted this week...


Last week Ann showed some gorgeous photos on her blog and 
offered them as images to be painted. I took a portion of one of
the photos and did my rendition of her scene in watercolor pencils.
I am entering this in this Friday's Paint Party Friday challenge,  posting
early because our granddaughter will be visiting this weekend from California.
I just couldn't get the right colors with the pencils I have.



And here is a collage I made from green card stock, some gesso, 
lots of Moon Glow sprays, and a mat board filagree from Lindy's Stamp Gang.
It is also being entered in the Word Art Wednesday challenge.
