Watercolor cards

Here are some watercolor greetings cards I did this week.

This is my entry for Paint Party Friday.

There's a bad storm coming on so I have to 

have a very brief posting for the party.

New Curtains and Some Art

I have been busy changing the colors of my kitchen.

Since Day 1 it has been gray, black and white with

bright brass drawer pulls and accessories. I changed

out the pulls with a stainless look and painted over

some of the brass (I know, it is not permanent). 

This last week I have been making lined valances 

for two sets of windows and the patio door, which

also has canvas roll up shades that I made.

I worked on my canvas wall hanging in class last

Saturday. When I got home I could not stand the

color of the foliage. This is supposed to be a class

project, but I couldn't let another week go by and

have to look at those awful bright kelly green leaves.

So today I got out the acrylic paints and darkened

them. I think they still need work but they are much

better now. I haven't done the background yet but

I am thinking of a pale blue green and pick up the

colors in the flower to blend in.

A Get Well Soon Watercolor Card

Summer is a time of field flowers so I painted

this small piece for a get well card to send to a

friend having serious surgery. I hope it will

cheer her up. This is my PPF entry this week.

Below are the ladies from the Bible study 

that I lead. We had a covered dish luncheon

at my house last Thursday. I think the average 

of our ages is 80 (my actual age).

The youngest is 74 and the oldest is 89. We

laugh, cry, pray, and study together each week.

I love those "girls".
